A colleague demonstrates the proper way to grip the chicken piece for eating:
It's between a flattened split breast cut and a half chicken cut, with wings and legs removed. Measures ~10 inches long, 3-4 inches wide, 0.5 inches deep. I initially thought that it was entirely one chicken breast, and asked about the size of the chicken that bore a breast of this size.
Deep-fried for ~5 minutes in a crispy light sweet batter, then lightly salted and spiced on the outside. The rib structures provide a secondary grip. Grease is entirely retained in the batter and doesn't penetrate the paper bag.

It goes great with beer, and would be a killer app in American spectator sports.
~1000 kcal, ~1 lb (12 oz. chicken, 4 oz. batter and oil). Cost: NT$40 (US$1.33), and a heart attack a decade later.
