[My correction]
とりにくを(4 小さく)きりました。
I cut the chicken into small pieces.
When connecting an i-adjective to a verb, change 〜い to 〜く.
小さい: i-adjective
きる: verb
i-adjく + verb
→ 小さく + きる
So, 小さくきりました is the correct form.
Other choices
小さい
→ Dictionary form (cannot directly modify a verb)
小さくて
→ Te-form (used to connect clauses, not directly with a verb)
小さな
→ Has the same meaning as 小さい, but is used when subjectively expressing emotion or impression. It must be followed by a noun.
I hope this explanation helps! 😊
