Grilled Chicken Thighs Adobo

1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened)
4 garlic cloves, smashed, roughly chopped
1 fresh bay leaf
fresh ground pepper - generous
4 pounds chicken thighs

     --- Combine all ingredients except chicken and bring to a boil in a large skillet.
     --- Add chicken thighs and simmer for 20 minutes.
     --- Meanwhile heat a gas grill or start a charcoal fire

     --- If using a gas grill, turn off one set of burners and turn the other(s) to medium-low
     --- If using charcoal, heap all coals on one side of grill
     --- Transfer chicken pieces to cool area of grill and cover.
     --- Cook about 6-8 minutes, until nicely browned.

Optional: since the liquid was cooked, and not a refrigerated marinade, you can bring it to a boil and reduce it by half while the chicken is grilled and serve with with chicken.
