Method
6 steps · 270 minutes
- Score the skin in fine lines a half inch apart, through the fat but not into the meat.
- Salt the skin heavily and leave it uncovered in the fridge for 24 hours. Dry skin crackles and damp skin does not, and nothing else matters as much.
- Rub the herbs, garlic, fennel and zest into the meat side only. Anything on the skin stops it crisping and burns.
- Roll it tightly and tie at 1 1/4 inch intervals, then wipe the skin dry again before it goes in.
- Three hours at 300F, then 30 minutes at 450F to blister the crackling. Watch the last ten minutes closely.
- Rest it 30 minutes. Slicing it hot squeezes the fat out and softens the crackling you just spent four hours earning.
