Barbecued Chicken with Sweet Vinegar Sauce

__NOTOC__
==Description==
This is the first Thai-style dish I ever attempted to make, after I 'discovered' how delicious Thai food is. This recipe is easy enough (for the beginner that I was 10 years ago) and the ingredients not too difficult to find. Prep time does not include the several hours to overnight marinading time.
==Ingredients==
* 2 lbs chicken thigh fillets
* ½ cup coconut milk
* 4 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 2 teaspoons turmeric
* 2 teaspoons paprika
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, root if possible
* 1 teaspoon curry powder
* 2 small fresh red chilies, chopped
* 1 tablespoon oil
=== Sweet vinegar sauce ===
* 1 small fresh red chili, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* ½ cup white vinegar
* 2 tablespoons sugar
==Directions==
# Cut chicken thighs in half and place in a bowl.
# Combine the next 9 ingredients (garlic thru oil) and grind to a paste using a mortar and pestle.
# Combine the paste with the chicken and mix well; refrigerate several hours or overnight.
# Just before serving, grill chicken until tender, basting frequently with coconut milk.
# Serve with sweet vinegar sauce.
=== Sweet vinegar sauce ===
# Grind chile and garlic to a paste using a mortar and pestle.
# Combine vinegar and sugar in a pan, stir over heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved.
# Bring to a boil, simmer, uncovered, without stirring, until syrup just begins to color; remove from heat, cool slightly, stir in chile and garlic paste.
