Glad to see they are eating so well. You are getting closer and closer to counting soup as 'gravy' for the meal. At some point you might only need to wet the meat and they see it as soup - that's what mine did.
I tend to buy Costco chicken thigh packages - cut two up and freeze into tiny cupcakes and then freeze the rest. That gives me two more 'cut and freeze' sessions later.

I keep meaning to go to a costco but have yet to make it. With their left overs I have been mostly putting water over them sometimes maybe 1 oz or half that if there's a lot of slivers and they have been eating it that way.

Got some very last min sliver in tonight. Only gave them four because I gave them a little extra food because I thought I wasn't going to have slivers. But now were back to normal so hopefully we can get back on track tomorrow.

Continue to increase the amount of slivers. If you feel daring and they have waited longer than normal for dinner, try a bit larger chunk and see how they do. They might surprise you!

They had completely clean bowls last night so I decided to go ahead with 6 this afternoon. I guess we have already been dabbling with some different sizes, i've been a little busy with work so i've been letting my boyfriend cut the slivers and then I come to find they are almost always twice the size I specified lol. They ate them the last time so i'm gaining confidence to throw a couple larger ones in there as we go.

Bet your French fry pieces can become more like a green bean soon. Another thing you can try is pork or turkey French fry pieces.

Mine love pork -- so much I make sure I only give it once or twice a week so they don't expect it. Any attempt to weigh them again? I use an empty ice cream bucket on the scale right after they wake up.
