I have 2oz of light toast American oak and it needs a purpose in life

Just like the title says, 2oz of light toast american oak chips and I've had them for a while now. It was originally a 4oz bag and I used 2oz in a bourbon barrel porter which was a hit with my friends and family, although it was a bit underattenuated (like all my stouts and porters seem to be) and I didn't love it.
I know a lot of people oak stouts and IPA's, but that's not what I want to do this time. I'm envisioning a pale, simple beer that acts as a canvas to showcase the oak. I've considered blonde ale, cream ale, american pale ale, but so far I think ESB would be a good choice. Maybe there is a style I haven't considered. Recommend a recipe.
