Maple Chicken 'N' Ribs

Name: Maple Chicken 'N' Ribs
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 12 pork spare ribs; 12 chicken thighs with skin on and bone in; 250 millilitres apple juice (as sharp as possible); 4 tablespoons maple syrup; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 star anise; 1 cinnamon stick (halved); 6 cloves garlic (unpeeled)

Instructions

This recipe says it all. You need no more than a few minutes to load up a couple of freezer bags (I wash mine and re-use them) with ribs and chicken, oils and unguents and then, after a day or so's untroublesome marinating in the fridge, you tip out the contents into a roasting tray and slot it in the oven. Or just marinate in a couple of covered dishes. Your input is minimal, but what you get out is a big feast that feels homey and welcoming and makes everyone happy, you included. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
