Marinated Pork Leg Recipe – Juicy and Full of Flavor!

Place the pork leg in a large ziplock bag or dish.

Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it's fully coated.

Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Turn occasionally to marinate evenly.

Roast the Pork:

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

Place pork on a roasting rack in a pan. Pour a bit of water or broth into the bottom (keeps it moist).

Roast uncovered for 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on size, until internal temp reaches 145°F (63°C).

Optional: Baste occasionally with pan juices or leftover marinade (boil it first if raw).

Crisp the Skin (Optional):

For crackling: Increase oven to 450°F (230°C) for the last 15 minutes or broil for a crispy finish.

Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Rest & Serve:

Let rest 15–20 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
