Ingredients:
Meat - pork chops/ribs or chicken drums/nibbles
250ml sharp apple juice (we use Macs Sour Green apple)
4 Tbsp maple syrup
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp Chinese five spice (the recipe says 2 star anise but Mark uses this instead)
6 cloves garlic unpeeled
Put the chicken ribs/drumsticks in a couple of freezer bags or into a dish. Add all the remaining ingredients squelching everything together well before sealing bag or covering dish.
Leave to marinate overnight in the fridge (or at least all day if doing first thing in the morning).
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Pour contents into one or two large roasting tins (make sure chicken is skin side up). Cook for approx 1 hour and quarter until everything is sticky, syrupy and glossy brown.
Tastes amazing with basmati rice and roasted veges. But I'm sure it would be equally as nice as part of a summer BBQ too.
And I feel very lucky to have a wonderful hubby who cuts my meat off the bone for me...just one of my funny pet hates, eating meat off the bone, funny gal I know! :-)

This sounds truly delicious! I'm going to keep an eye out for chicken this week! I'm actually partway through making your carrot, courgette & pineapple cake. It's pretty popular around here :) Love your blog and it's wonderful mix of photography, family adventures, memoirs and recipes, among other treasures. Thanks for sharing with us :) xx
