Crispy Roasted Pig Tails
Ingredients
  • 8 pig tails, rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, halved
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components.
2
Submerge pig tails in a large stockpot, filling it with sufficient cold water to completely submerge the items. Cover the pot and initiate boiling. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes, ensuring the water remains at a rolling boil throughout the duration.
3
Drain the pig tails in a colander and thoroughly clean the stockpot to prevent any residual flavors from affecting the dish.
4
Reinsert the pig tails into the pot and cover it once more with cold water. Introduce the onion, garlic, pepper flakes, and salt into the pot; bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
5
Cook at a boiling point until the pig tails are almost disintegrating, approximately 2 hours of continuous cooking.
6
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
7
Drain the pig tails and position them onto the prepared roasting pan. Discard or reserve the stock for future use.
8
Roast the pig tails in the preheated oven until they pop, sizzle, and develop a golden-brown skin, 30 to 40 minutes of cooking time.
9
Carefully open the oven door and remove the pig tails from the oven to prevent overcooking. Allow them to cool down before serving.
