Layover food

lol I didn’t know chicken skin was a thing in Japan until I tried them at a konbini. Instead of leaving the chicken skin on the chicken and selling it to you for once price, Japan decided to do a Spirit and charge extra for chicken skin. To go with your chicken.
 
I've seen people have it (chicken skin yakitori) in food travel shows, but haven't myself. Any good? Or is it gross? I know Asia sometimes prefers textures that westerners do not.

It’s fantastic!

In Japan it’s crispy with a slight chew. Grilled over the Yakatori you get an amazing flavor of charcoal and they baste it with a Tare to give it some incredible umami.

I usually hit up Chinatown when I get a long SFO, but after walking through the Italian neighborhood last time around, I've decided I'm giving it a go next time. Some pretty authentic looking places which is tough to find in my area...South Jersey....loaded with Italians, but maybe one or two actual authentic Italian joints.
