MAPLE CHICKEN 'N' RIBS
If meat is involved, you can find me covering it in flavor-enhancing tenderizing liquids before grilling, broiling, baking or roasting it. The more you do to the meat before you cook it, the less you have to do during or after. In this case apple juice or cider gives tang and wards off stringiness, a small amount of oil keeps things juicy and maple syrup, soy, star anise, cinnamon and garlic impart deep, luscious flavor. These two meats work well in conjunction: the relatively lean chicken is enhanced in taste and texture by the pork ribs, which give off flavorsome fat as they roast. You can use whatever ribs you like; meaty ones are best, but as long as the ribs are separated, rather than in a slab, they'll do just fine. As for the chicken, I implore you to use thighs, bone-in, skin-on because the meat is more tender and the taste infinitely better. (Make sure you use a large enough roasting pan so you don't have to crowd the pan. If the pan is crowded, the meat will steam, not brown.)

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.

BARBECUE SAUCE FOR CHOPS, WINGS, SPARERIBS
Another favorite 1960 recipe from one of my old recipe cards. A great basic barbecue sauce for pork chops, chicken wings, or spareribs using ingredients readily available in most pantries. No precooking of the sauce is required but you can simmer it for 10 to 15 minutes if you like. Or, just mix the sauce ingredients together, pour over the meat, and bake. Adjust seasonings to taste. You can add garlic powder or minced garlic if you like. A good make ahead for next day barbecue.

Steps:
- Trim excess fat from pork chops, remove tips from chicken wings, cut spareribs into serving pieces.
- There should be enough meat to cover the bottom of 9"x13" pan in a single layer.
- Even though precooking of the meat is not required, I usually parboil spareribs to get rid of excess fat, and brown pork chops, drain the fat, and deglaze the browning pan with some of the sauce.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients.
- Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes (optional).
- Pour sauce over chops, wings, or ribs.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 75 to 90 minutes or until meat is tender and thoroughly cooked.
- Baking time will depend on quantity, type of meat, and thickness.
- Baste occasionally and turn over at least once.
- Place meat on a serving dish.
- Pour balance of sauce into a bowl.
- Skim off any excess grease, or chill the sauce to allow the fat to solidify on top so it will be easier to remove.
