Grilled Chicken With Spicy Brazilian Tomato and Coconut Sauce image

Redolent of ginger and jalapenos, the tomato sauce is a lively addition to plain grilled chicken. If you like less heat, use only one jalapeno. Rice and beans or refried beans are typical Brazilian side dishes that taste especially good with chicken.

4 tablespoons cooking oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 chicken, quartered (3 to 3 1/2 pounds)
