Almost exactly like my recipe except I use a little lime juice for a bit of acid in the rub and a good amount of kosher salt on the skin to draw out moisture that I scrape off before roasting. It never fails!

The scoring tip made my day! I made a pernil on Christmas and being able to just snap off a piece at the score with perfect ease was delightful!

Can you make a smaller one. 6lbs. If it's 1/4 salt for your 11lbs how much for a 6lbs? Nothing?… I want to know what I change or leave it the same for a 6lbs.

I’m definitely using the skin method but don’t use adobo. I love making my spice blend with natural ingredients. I would recommend adding a bit of cayenne pepper to really bring out the flavors but I use fresh peppers.

I discovered this recipe three years ago, and refer to it every year. My husband is Puerto Rican, and he says it's just as good as his mother used to make it.
