Take on the unrefridgerated chicken thing

There is this weird cuisine option you can buy at the train stations in China and I believe it's dried chicken. It's not just the chicken thing but it's that it's not refrigerated and kept sitting in the 100 degree store being breathed all over by thousands of window-shoppers. Imagine buying this thing, unwrapping it, chowing down and then getting onto a four hour train ride???
I've been offered thousands of weird thing to eat in China but this has to be one of the least appetizing things and that is saying a lot.
