You don't. Meta intentionally designed WhatsApp to not have a recover option without a backup:

Note: When you delete a chat, it can’t be undone. WhatsApp is unable to recover deleted chats for you. You can only recover deleted chats if your latest backup occurred prior to deleting a chat. Please be aware that you’ll lose any chats that occurred after the latest backup.
