Royal Farms hot chicken sub

[chappie]

For those outside the Maryland, Delaware, Virginia region, Royal Farms is a gas station/convenience store much like Wawa, but with more hot food options including some mean fried chicken they prepare all day long.

I don't frequent these places often, but on the advice of a friend, I discovered the Royal Farms hot chicken sub yesterday. As the months pass and I start developing a noticeable layer of schmaltz, I may regret this encounter through sobs of salty, molten chicken fat.

Basically, they take a large, fried breast, pull off all the meat and -- this is the clincher -- skin, and jam it into a roll to be accompanied by your selected toppings. I chose white American cheese, mayo, lettuce and pickles. It was loaded with still-hot, moist breast meat, but the crispy layers of skin are what made me growl while choking it back in all of 90 seconds.

Even the ensuing heartburn was somehow delicious.
