1/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vinegar

In a small mixing bowl gradually stir hot water into peanut butter. Stir in chili sauce, soy sauce, the 2 T oil, the 2 T vinegar, garlic, ginger and red pepper.

Pour marinade over chicken. Seal the bag and turn to coat chicken thighs with marinade. Chill for 12 to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.

In a covered grill arrange medium hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium hot by placing hand over coals. When hand gets too hot at 3 seconds the temperature is right.
