My husband and toddler are both picky. Hubby won't eat meat on the bone and doesn't like dark meat chicken. Toddler thinks slices of ginger are spicy. So traditional Vietnamese ga kho gung with bone-in chicken thighs and lots of sliced ginger won't work in our house. I came up with this lazy riff on it and got both hubby and toddler approval.
