Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C). Carefully add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-5 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain excess oil. Season lightly with salt immediately after frying.

Once the french fries are golden and crispy (about 15-20 minutes), remove them from the oven. Divide the hot fries among four serving bowls. Immediately lay 2 slices of processed cheese on top of the fries in each bowl. The residual heat from the fries will begin to melt the cheese.

Return the bowls with fries and cheese to the hot oven for 1-2 minutes, or microwave for 30-60 seconds, until the cheese is fully melted and gooey, forming a sauce over the fries.
