If you're farming the end game map content, a good idea is to go for this on a few specific items. They so up nicely in the loot filter, so hard to miss and pretty frequent drops.
Glorious plate - chance into Kaoms Heart
Close Helmet - chance into The Baron
Siege Axe - chance into Soul Taker
Full Wyrmscale - chance into Belly of the Beast
If you make a habit of picking up these bases, it's easy to keep the supply up. There are more, but i can't remember off the top of my head. If you're real lucky, getting a unique out of these will get you the achievement & some pretty decent currency!
Note: the rates suuuuuuck. This is total RNG & you will either be in it for the long haul (like myself) or get lucky & get it quickly.

In the current league (3.22 Ancestors), you can buy (or find, good luck!) an item 'Omen of Fortune' that guarantees the next use of an Orb of Chance to roll a unique item, if it can. It's pretty expensive, currently going for 5-6+ divines. Just a heads up for anyone playing the current league.

I do not have this on xbox yet, but I have done it on PC.
I have yet to see any proof that any one item is more likely to become a unique than any other item specifically.
You do however have to make sure that the item in which you are trying to make a unique actually has a unique that isn't acquired by some special means.
Since you are looking at this guide then you are probably going for all the achievements so this is my suggestion.
Once you start getting two-stone rings. Use your orbs or chance on these. There are several unique versions of the two-stone rings.
Any that you fail to convert you can turn them in to a vendor in sets of 3. You need all 3 gem stone combinations. This will give you a + to all resists ring which can be very useful for keeping your resists up in the end game. If you turn in 3 magic quality rings you will get a magic resist all ring. If you turn in 3 rare two-stone rings you will get a rare resist all ring.
When turning in the rings you must turn them in with a specific set, you must have one of each type. fire/cold, lightning/cold, lightning/fire. If you look at the icon, the gemstones in the ring will let you know which ones they are without having to look at the tooltip for each.
With this method you will at least get some use out of the failed attempts other than just blowing them up for scrap.
UPDATE
Just doing some testing for myself. I've been using random weapons that I found in act 1 such as driftwood wand/club and crude bows. So far I am over 400 Chance Orbs and still nothing. This evidence doesn't support that low level early game weapons are easier to get the achievement with.

This is an extremely rare achievement. There are people with over 1000 orbs used who still don't have it. It is completely lucked based. Expect this to be one of the very last achievements that you get in this game and if you get it earlier consider yourself very lucky.
I probably have over 3500 hours played on the PC and I've done this only a hand full of times.

You can try different things. Just make sure that the base item that you are using actually has a unique version or you are wasting your time. For example an Ursine Pelt can become a Rat's Nest. Some base items don't have a unique so you will never get this achievement using those items. The only reason that I listed the rings for the achievement is because they have another important use upon failure as opposed to anything else that just becomes vendor trash.

If you are chancing just for this achievement. Spam them on Leather Belts.
For about 200 hours i put every chance orb i got into Glorious plate and got fuck all.
In the end i went into a T15 map, collected 5 Leather Belts and about 20 orbs later i had a unique and my achievement.
