I ate delicious pork shank at a restaurant, and I want to recreate it at home.

What are some tips?

    You need a piece with the skin still on.
    Make cuts with a sharp knife.
    Roast (and i think regularly baste).
    Look up what temp pork is cooked at and probe it regularly so it doesnt get super dry.

    A gammon roast recipe would probably be a good guide.

    Look up Pernil recipes. That’ll help with the crisp skin.

    You should search for bavarian pork roast. It’s usually a piece of bacon or shoulder but it’s also common to serve a porkknuckle prepared the same way in traditional restaurants. Nothing can beat the crust if made correctly. Your picture looks very similar to the ones served at Hofbräuhaus/Augustiner in Munich.

    I’m wondering if you do it like cracklings, and pour hot oil over it after slow roasting?

    Ccok crunchy skin sounds painful.
