1. Your pig should be FRESH. Make sure that you’re

getting it from a trusted meat shop or grocery and

that it has passed inspection.

2. You can get your pig from local farmers who can bring you exactly what you need: a suckling pig, a 60-pound beauty or a 90-pound one.

from them.

4. When deciding about the weight of your pig, you

should remember that only 30 to 50 percent of its live

weight is going to be edible after being dressed.

5. Count how many guests you are expecting and

allocate 1.5 pounds per person.

6. To make your pig roast flavorful, don’t forget to use

a meat injector when marinating it. It will infuse the flavors of your mojo

sauce into every fiber of the meat.

7. Don’t ditch the rub. There are so many rubs you can

choose from but of course, our favorite is the adobo

seasoning. It gives pig roasts a delicious Cuban twist.

8. When the pig is almost done and you’ve already

turned it over, score its skin to make it crispy.

9. Don’t peek in the grill frequently. You’ll let the

heat out and prevent your pig’s skin from being crispy. You might even undercook

your meat.

10. If you’ll use a marinade that contains sweet

ingredients, you’ll have to apply it when the pig is

nearly cooked. Doing so will prevent the meat from having a bitter or burnt

taste.

11. Before serving, let the pig cool down for 30

minutes. This will allow its juices to flow back into the

meat.

12. Serve with your favorite side dishes and drinks!
