chicken skin
Fryer's outer layer
Chicken skin is the outer layer of a chicken, prized when roasted crispy or used to add richness to dishes.
The term also describes the bumpy texture human skin gets from cold or strong emotion—what's more commonly called goosebumps: I got chicken skin when she hit that high note.
This usage is especially common in Hawaiian English.
