Maple Chicken ‘N’ Ribs

• 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)

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 350u0b0 for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until tender, basting occasionally with reserved marinade.
