Ingredients

Chicken Farce:

Breading:

Start by slicing the chicken breasts into long strips and place into a bowl with chopped chicken skin.
Add garlic powder, MSG, kosher salt, ground white pepper, and granulated sugar. Toss together to fully incorporate all ingredients.
Using a meat grinder or a grinding attachment for a Kitchenaid stand mixer, grind your spiced chicken mixture into a medium sized mixing bowl.
With damp hands, form the ground chicken into the form of a french fry. Repeat. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Place chicken fries into a freezer for 15 minutes.
Add all-purpose flour, garlic powder, MSG, paprika, and kosher salt to a bowl. Add eggs beaten with water to a separate bowl, and panko breadcrumbs to the third bowl. Evenly coat fries in seasoned flour, then coat in egg wash, then fully coat in breadcrumbs. Transfer breaded chicken fries to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place breaded fries into the freezer for 15 minutes.
In a heavy bottomed pot, heat frying oil to 350°F and fry the chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes. Transfer cooked chicken to a wire rack-lined baking sheet.
