This recipe can be used also if you are roasting a whole pig or pig’s head. Since not everyone will be roasting a whole pig, this recipe is for pig’s ham only for more convenient cooking. If you don’t like to use charcoal for cooking and want a lechon in oven instead, then you can use an oven.

To cook the roasted pig ham; Place charcoal in BBQ grill and light, wait 20 min. move charcoal to the sides of the grill and place foil pan in the bottom of grill, with the coals on both sides of the pan and place on the top grill rack, fill pan half full with liquid from the bucket. Remove the ham from the bucket and place on the grill large side down. Cook for 4 to 6 hrs, adding 5 or 6 coals, to each side every 30 min. check the meat with a meat thermometer, when you get a reading of 160 degrees Celsius at the center of the ham it’s done.
