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.

• Put the ribs and chicken pieces in a couple of large freezer bags or into a dish.

• Take the dish out of the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

MAPLE ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Using paper towels, pat the chicken dry and trim off any excess fat. Place in a large resealable plastic bag or medium bowl with a lid.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and 2 tablespoons salt. Pour into the bag with the chicken, seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull the brined chicken out of the fridge, drain off the brine and pat the chicken dry. On a rimmed sheet pan, rub the chicken with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
• Set it skin side up and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
• As the chicken roasts, make the glaze: Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, fennel, paprika and ½ cup water to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced and thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
• Brush the cooked thighs with the glaze and set under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute, keeping an eye on the glaze as it is quick to burn. Serve hot.
