Childhood Chicken Bones

Overview

I was born in the 1980s in the Northeast. When I was in elementary school, there was an old lady selling home-made chicken bone sticks on a cart in front of the school, topped with sweet sauce. It was warm and had a nostalgic taste. So I used up my brain cells to recall the taste and often made it myself. It was too late today so I didn’t make the sweet sauce and served it another day.
