Instructions
- With a knife, pierce the skin a few times, making sure not to cut through the meat.
- Pour vinegar over and massage on meat. Rub salt, garlic powder, and pepper all over the meat.
- Refrigerate, uncovered and skin side up, overnight to chill.
- With paper towels, pat down surfaces of meat to completely dry. Arrange on a roasting pan fitted with a rack.
- Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 180 F oven for about 4 ½ to 5 hours.
- Increase temperature to 320 F and continue to cook for about 1 ½ to 2 hours or until meat is cooked through and browns.
- Increase temperature to 430 F and continue to cook for about 30 to 40 minutes or until skin is very crisp and a thermometer inserted in the center of the pork reads 145 F.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for about 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Pierce the skin carefully, making sure not to cut through the meat as juices might bubble up during roasting, which can cause rubbery patches of skin.
- Roast uncovered as covering the meat will create steam and interfere with the crisping.
- For 4 to 6 pounds of meat, decrease cook time by about 30 minutes.
