One Whole Piglet BBQ'ed

Name: One Whole Piglet BBQ'ed
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 Piglet

You can fully enjoy this slow spit-roasted in a low heat over charcoal just like a scene from an overseas festival!

In order to prevent the surface flesh from becoming too warm while thawing out the meat, place the piglet inside 2 plastic bags with ice water (even if frozen), or alternatively, thaw it the fridge. It should take about 2 days to thaw at a low temperature in the fridge. Recipe by Mi-togai

Steps

1

Make sure the meat has completely thawed (this should take roughly 2 days in the fridge). Make several shallow cuts into the meat.
2

The cuts prevent the meat from falling apart when cooking. It also allows the flavors to soak in when seasoning the meat.
3

Flavor with your favorite sauce or spices. (I recommend Meat Guy BBQ sauce.) Make sure to use a grill that has a lid.
4

You can't cook it directly on the flame. Place the coal into a corner of the grill, and place the piglet as far away from the flame as possible on the opposite side, and steam grill with the heat from the coal for 3-4 hours.
5

I understand that you will be tempted to open the lid and peak, but refrain from doing so as much as possible. (Increase the cooking time approximately 30 minutes every time you open the lid).
6

Cut into edible portion sizes. (The skin is also delicious, so divide it up bit by bit.)
