Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 pounds pork belly with ribs
  • ½ cup vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. With a knife, pierce the skin a few times. Pour vinegar over and massage on the meat.
  2. Rub garlic powder, salt, and pepper all over the meat.
  3. Refrigerate overnight, uncovered and skin side up, to chill.
  4. With paper towels, pat down surfaces the pork belly to completely dry. Arrange on a roasting pan fitted with a rack.
  5. Bake in a preheated 180 F oven for about 3 hours.
  6. Increase temperature to 320 F and continue to cook for about 1 to 1 ½ hours or until meat is cooked through and browns.
  7. Increase temperature to 430 F and continue to cook for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the skin is very crisp.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately

Notes

  • Have the butcher cut through the ribs without going through the meat to make it easier to chop the lechon into pieces when serving.
  • Use a roasting rack to ensure even heat circulation and browning. Do not use a baking dish, as the rendered fat will pool around the meat, affecting the crunchy texture.
