   1       c            Sugar
     1/2   c            Water
     1/2   c            White vinegar

   2       tb           Lime juice
     1/4   c            Carrot -- shredded

  If you don't like cilantro, use basil or mint instead. For a
  spicier dish, increase the chili sauce.
  
  In a blender or by hand, combine cilantro, chili sauce, soy sauce,
  oyster sauce, garlic, and sugar. Spread on chicken and marinate for
  4 hours or overnight.
  
  Preheat broiler or barbecue. Broil chicken skin side down for
  4 minutes. Turn and broil 4 minutes longer until skin is crispy and
  chicken is cooked through. Cut chicken in 1/2" strips.
  
  Place lettuce leaves on platter and arrange chicken on top. Garnish
  with coriander, mint sprigs, and green onions.
  
  To eat in the Thai manner, roll chicken in lettuce leaves along
  with herbs and onions. Dip into dipping sauce. Alternatively, serve
  lettuce, chicken, and garnishes together.
  
  Tart Sweet Dipping Sauce:

  This is the traditional Thai dipping sauce used for salad rolls,
  spring rolls, and most everything else.
  
  Combine sugar, water, and vinegar. Bring to boil and boil for
  5 minutes. Stir in garlic, fish sauce, and chili sauce. Simmer for
  2 minutes. Cook and add lime juice and shredded carrot.
