Okay, so I've just realised I've been pronouncing this wrong.

So I've been pronouncing it "chit in", probably as above - perhaps halfway between "chicken" and "shit in".

Apparently it's pronounced "kite in".

Not that it's a word that crops up too much, but I've almost certainly made other people say it wrong too :(
