- Begin by rinsing the pig well in cold water.
- Take a large sized bag which is strong enough to fit the pig and other ingredients.
- Put the water, salt and sugar in the bag and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.
- Put the pigs in the bag and tie it up making sure that all the excess air is removed.
- Keep the bag in the refrigerator for one day turning it once and let it brine.
- To begin cooking the meat, preheat the oven to 250°F and dry up the pig using kitchen towels.
- Stuff the inside of the pig with a foil and put it on the baking tray, stomach downwards.
- Tuck the back legs under the pig so that they are pointing forward and tuck the front legs on the sides.
- Keep the head aligned with the back using some more foil and cover the pig completely with foil before putting it in the oven.
- Let the pig roast, turning it once when the temperature of the meat is 130°F.
- Then remove the foil and baste the pig with oil and keep it in with an increased temperature of 400°F.
- Keep basting it every 15 minutes and rotating till the internal temperature of the meat is 160°F.
- Rest the roasted pig for at least 20 minutes before carving.
