Method
Using a fork, prick the skin of the chicken all over, to allow the flavours to penetrate. Brush with a little of the oil.Grind together the garlic, fish sauce or soy sauce, coriander, salt and pepper to form a paste. Spread over the chicken and set aside for at least 1 hour.
Heat the grill to moderate and cook the chicken, turning frequently, until golden brown and cooked through, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or large frying pan and stir-fry the cabbage with the ginger for about 5 minutes, then cover and cook gently until it is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the cabbage on a large platter or individual plates. Place the chicken on the cabbage and spoon the peanut sauce over.
