  1. Cut 2 deep slashes through the skin and flesh of the chicken. Rub chicken with combined sugar, cumin and salt. Stand for 10 minutes.

  2. For the nam jim, blend or process all the ingredients until smooth.

  3. Place chicken, skin side down, on a lightly oiled, heated grill plate on low heat (or on a grill or covered barbecue) for about 10 minutes. Turn, cover with foil or cover the barbecue; cook until chicken is cooked through.

  4. Serve the chicken on herbs with nam jim.

  6. Cook's note As each brand of fish sauce varies in saltiness and intensity, start with a little and add more gradually to taste. Brown sugar can be used as a substitute for palm sugar, if desired.
