KEY INFORMATION

Crackling roast pork is a beloved dish featuring pork with a crispy, crackling skin and tender, juicy meat beneath. Typically, pork shoulder, pork belly, or a pork loin with the skin-on is used. To achieve the perfect crackling, the skin is scored (usually in a crisscross pattern) and then seasoned generously with salt, sometimes combined with olive oil or herbs to enhance the flavor. The key to the crispiness lies in drying the skin and roasting it at a high temperature, which causes the fat under the skin to render and create that irresistible, crunchy exterior.

Crackling roast pork is often served as a centerpiece dish with accompaniments like roasted potatoes, applesauce, or a simple gravy to complement the rich flavors. The contrast between the crispy skin and the moist meat makes each bite a satisfying combination of textures and tastes!

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Ready:

            1.         Thaw: Remove the pork from its packaging and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to thaw slightly.

            2.         Pat Dry: Gently pat the pork dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

            3.         Season: Sprinkle the pork generously with cooking salt, ensuring even coverage.

Roasting:

            4.         Preheat: Preheat your convection oven or air fryer to 180°C (355°F).

            5.         First Roast: Place the pork in the preheated oven/air fryer and roast at 175°C (350°F) for 15 minutes.

            6.         Remove Salt: Carefully remove the pork from the oven/air fryer and gently brush off the excess salt.

            7.         Second Roast: Return the pork to the oven/air fryer and continue roasting at 175°C (350°F) for another 15 minutes.

            8.         Crisp the Skin: Increase the oven/air fryer temperature to 250°C (480°F) and roast until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes, but keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

HEATING INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Getting Started: Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 165 degrees. Then, let your chicken or turkey chill out at room temperature for about 30 minutes – they need a little relaxation time too!
  2. Setting the Stage: Find a roasting tray with a rack, and make sure the bird is placed with its breast side down. Now, here's a little secret: pour 1 cup of water into the tray – it's like a spa day for your poultry!
  3. Time to Roast: Pop your bird in the oven and cover it up with foil. For chicken, let it roast for 20-30 minutes, and for turkey, give it 30-40 minutes to work its magic.
  4. Extra Flair (Optional): If you're feeling fancy and want to add that extra touch of flavor, about 10 minutes before your chicken or turkey is ready to shine, remove the foil and give it a generous basting with some delicious butter. It's like giving it a golden, buttery hug!

Now you're all set to create a mouthwatering masterpiece in your kitchen! Enjoy your cooking adventure!
