Though it might sound a little foreign to you, the name “Lechon” is derived from a Spanish word which actually means Roasted Suckling Pig. Lechon is slowly cooked over charcoal to achieve a crisp pork skin while keeping its meat juicy and succulent.
Being one of the national dishes of Philippines, everyone loves Lechon for its thin pork skin that ignites a hearty crunch in your mouth with every bite; think of it as a similar version to the Chinese suckling pig.
