Grilled Thai Chicken with Chunky Peach Pepper Sauce

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are often an economical choice, have more flavour and are less prone to drying out as chicken breasts do. The seasoning for the chicken has just a hint of curry and is nicely complemented by the colourful sweet-hot peach sauce. Serve with jasmine or basmati rice.
