Wash the thighs and dry thoroughly. Pierce the skin and meat all over with a sharp object to help the spices penetrate. Sprinkle the garlic, ginger, pepper, and coriander over the thighs and press down. Wrap in foil and let stand for at least 2 hours. Make a glaze from the soy sauce, sugar, and oil. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Grill the meat over charcoal for about 10 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the skin is dark brown on the outside. Brush the glaze over the thighs frequently and turn them over, or skewer and grill.
