I have a batch of mead I think would benefit from oak chips. I bought french oak chips and american oak chips, they come sealed in a bag. I was going to drop it in secondary for a month and then I started worrying that maybe they need to be sanitized before putting in? Thoughts?
 
I soak mine in vodka for an hour, but, I don't use chips, I use cubes & spheres

Nope - I just place them in a small sanitized mesh bag and drop them in
