With its generous portions, this recipe is great for a potluck or family reunion. I also love this entree because the chicken thighs and country-style ribs are affordable.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups apple cider or juice
1/2 cup maple syrup
9 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches)
3 whole star anise
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 pork spareribs (about 5-1/2 pounds)
8 bone-in chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Divide 1-1/2 cups marinade between two large resealable plastic bags; add spareribs and chicken to separate bags. Seal bags and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
2. Drain and discard marinade. Place ribs and chicken, skin side up, in separate greased shallow roasting pans.
3. Bake at 350° for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until tender, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Yield: 8 servings.
