marinade for chicken and ribs

This is from Nigella Express. I made the chicken and ribs for when Clark and Ash came down this past weekend. Super yum. The marinade is good for 12 pork ribs and 12 chicken thighs (skin on).

1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 TBS vegetable oil
2 TBS soy sauce
2 star anise
1 cinnamon stick, halved
6 unpeeled cloves of garlic

I mixed all the wet ingredients together, put the ribs in one freezer bag and the chicken thighs in another. I poured the wet ingredients into both and evenly divided the spices and garlic into both. I marinated everything overnight and roasted at 400 degrees for about 1.25 or 1.5 hours.
