SWEET AND STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients into a large freezer bag and mix well. Seal the bag and place it on a dish so that it can lie flat. Transfer the bag to the fridge and leave overnight to marinate.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Remove the ribs from the fridge and transfer them from the freezer bag to a roasting tin and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Transfer the roasting tin to the oven. Cook the ribs in the oven for 1 hour, turning them over after 30 minutes.
• Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and remove the foil from the roasting tin. Cook for a further 15 to 30 minutes, or until the ribs are sticky and cooked through.
• To serve, place the ribs onto a large serving plate.

MAPLE CHICKEN 'N' RIBS

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl whisk together the apple cider, maple syrup, vegetable oil and soy sauce. Add star anise, cinnamon stick, garlic and hot pepper flakes and stir to combine.
• In a large freezer bag or bowl combine pork and chicken. Pour in the apple cider mixture, and seal bag or cover bowl. Refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
• Remove marinated mixture from refrigerator, and heat oven to 400 degrees. Pour contents of bag or bowl (including liquid) into a large enough roasting pan to avoid crowding. Turn chicken pieces skin side up.
• Roast until chicken is opaque throughout and ribs are tender, about 1 1/4 hours; 35 to 40 minutes into roasting turn ribs over, but leave chicken skin side up and turn the heat to 425 degrees to increase browning if desired.
• When the chicken and ribs are finished roasting, there will be quite a lot of fat in the sauce. Strain the sauce and use a fat separator to remove this excess. Place the meat in a large dish along with the strained sauce and serve hot.
