This sweet and tart vinaigrette has an added spicy smokiness from the chipotle chile powder and an earthiness from the cumin. The combination of flavors is delicious on any salad or in a marinade.

Because it's boiled, this teriyaki turns into a great caramelized sauce that can be drizzled across the chicken and steamed white rice for a nice side dish. This can be made with any kind of meat - drumettes make a great party item. Recipe doubles nicely.
