Chicken Salad Sandwich - Part 2

There are many dishes invented to reuse leftovers.  Pasta sauces are great for using up leftover scraps of veggies and meat.  Soups and stews help make the final few slices of ham, turkey, and roast beef disappear. Aging ground beef is transformed into chili. French toast was born as a means to use up old, stale bread.

And Chicken From Last Night becomes chicken salad.

But I know the difference between chicken shit and chicken salad.  Homemade chicken, homemade mayonnaise, homemade bread.

I think what elevates the sandwich immeasurably is the addition of crispy chicken skin which rounds out the right amount of crunch and saltiness.
You have to admire a restaurant that only serves 3 entrees at lunch, all of which are sandwiches, yet manages to stay at full capacity for over an hour.  The other two sandwiches available were a grilled cheese and a ham & cheese.  Keep it simple.
