    Hi!
    I've picked up a small leg of pork joint that has the all important skin on so hoping for some crackling. Does anyone have some fool proof method of getting really crispy crackling? I have it scored and salted.
    Thanks!

    All I do is score and salt too.
    Sometimes it helps to remove the skin and grill it (keeping a close eye on it) while your joint is resting so it bubbles up a bit.

    Are you cooking it today ? I try and leave the pork uncovered in the fridge overnight to dry out a bit...
    And I normally start it in a very hot oven for 20 mins and then turn it right down (some do the opposite,cooking low and slow and finishing on high heat)
    Just alow plenty of time ,usually works best...
