Broil chicken skin side down for 4 minutes. Turn and broil 4 minutes longer until skin is crispy and chicken is cooked through. Cut chicken in 1/2-inch strips. Place lettuce leaves on platter and arrange chicken on top. Garnish with coriander, mint sprigs and green onions. To eat in the Thai manner, roll chicken in lettuce leaves along with herbs and onions. Dip into dipping sauce. Alternatively, serve lettuce, chicken and Garnishes together. Tart Sweet Dipping Sauce Tbs is the traditional Thai dipping sauce used for salad rolls, spring rolls and most everything else. Combine sugar, water and vinegar. Bring to boil and boil for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, fish sauce and chili sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes. Cook and add lime juice and shredded carrot
