How to make Maple chicken'n'ribs

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

2) Add all the remaining ingredients, squelching or everything together well before sealing the bag or covering the dish.

3) Leave to marinade in the refrigerator overnight or up to 2 days.

4) Take the dish out of the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.

5) Pour the contents of the freezer bag into 1 or 2 large roasting trays (making sure the chicken is skin side up) and place in the preheated oven and cook for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, by which time everything should be sticky and glossed conker-brown.
