Recipe Requested lechon or cochinillo

[dchang21]

sucking pig with the glass skin that you can cut with a plate. i’ve seen videos, i’ve looked around, and there is simply no straight forward recipe. please share if you know. in the oven, over live coals, whatever works.

i need methodology. time. temps. thats all. thank you.

I used the Serious Eats recipe for an oven lechon liempo but the skin sucked. Ymmv.

Edit: Here's my uncle's made in a toaster oven. Probably the best I've had. Have his recipe and method but haven't tried yet. Please ignore the random **** in the background, lol.

Yes, ofc. Chinese also do the same preparation with whole suckling pig like your lechon.

this is my first attempt in a kettle grill. good colour but skin was not crispy.

this was my second attempt in a wood oven. i was inspired by eating the famous dish El Sobrino de Botín, but it was even more difficult.
