  5. up into pieces. Also warm up some chicken gravy in another pan. Once the fries are done place them in a serving bowl and sprinkle first the cheese curds on them followed by the chorizo and lastly the chicken gravy, along with the hot fries this should help melt the cheese curds which is the desired outcome.
