Keeping It Fresh Friday: Glazed and Grilled

So this meal doesn't follow many of my Friday rules.  It has pre-made elements and involves grilling, which I've been trying to avoid.  But you certainly can use it for roasting pork or chicken inside.  It's just delicious and while it was the last element of Mark's birthday meal, which fell on a Sunday, its certainly the kind of dish that you can use on a weeknight.  Its really that easy.  Obviously, you may want to adjust for a smaller family meal instead of the more party-sized proportion used here.

How to Make Orange-Cumin Glaze for Chicken or Pork:
Makes: about 3 1/2 cups of glaze, enough for a whole chicken or 10 pork chops
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. ketchup 
1 1/2 c. orange juice
3 T. Sriracha sauce
2 T. soy sauce
1 T. cumin
whole chicken, cut into parts, or 10 pork chops

1. Puree first 5 ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth.  Set aside 1 cup to be served on the side.  
2.  Grill chicken or pork, brushing with glaze.  
3.  Bring remaining glaze to a simmer over medium heat.  Serve alongside chicken or pork.
