The bánh mì gánh is named not for a filling but for the gánh, the shoulder pole: a baguette built to order from two swinging baskets, sold by a walking vendor along a market aisle or a lane.
The word gà on a cart board, nothing after it: a promise of chicken and a refusal to say more. Grilled, roasted, or a cool poached shred, the parent the named chicken rolls split from.
Bánh mì with gà xé (shredded chicken); poached chicken hand-shredded, mixed with Vietnamese coriander (rau răm) and onion.

The plain fish-sauce grilled chicken bánh mì, where the cut is thigh because breast dries to chalk over coals, the char is Maillard rather than honey glaze.
Lemongrass grilled chicken bánh mì: pounded sả mashed into the marinade so its citral perfume soaks the bird, toasting over coals into a lemon-sharp scent the cold garnish carries.
Honey is mostly fructose, which caramelises near 110°C, a fifty-degree head start on table sugar. So the glaze goes on at the end or burns to cinders.
The lightest chicken bánh mì carries one thing no sibling does: shredded makrut lime leaf and a salt-pepper-lime dip, the signatures of gà luộc.
