Maple Chicken And Ribs

Bought some chicken drumsticks and ribs from Carrefour today for tonight's dinner. So I took the opportunity to try out Nigella's recipe. Here's my version because I do not have apple juice at home and I only marinated for about 2.5 hours.

Ingredients

4 pork spare ribs
3 chicken thighs, skin and bone still on
50ml mixed fruit juice (The original recipe requires apple juice)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil
0.5 tablespoon soy sauce
1 star anise
0.5 cinnamon stick, halved
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients together and leave to marinate in the fridge, preferably overnight.

2. Preheat the oven to 200°.

3. Pour the ingredients into a baking tray (making sure the chicken is skin-side up), place in the oven and cook for about an hour and a quarter, by which time everything should be sticky and glossed conker-brown.
