FAQ
Q: Can I make this in advance?
Yes, marinate overnight and roast just before serving.
Q: How do I get the skin extra crispy?
Ensure the skin is very dry before roasting and score it deeply. High heat at the start helps crisp it up.
Q: Can I use pork loin instead of pork belly?
Pork loin is leaner and will not produce the same caramelized, fatty crust. Pork belly is preferred for texture and flavor.
