Prepare the adobo marinade: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, dried oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and white vinegar. Mix well.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure garlic is finely minced for best flavor distribution. - 2
Generously rub the adobo marinade all over the inside and outside of the butterflied suckling pig. Stuff the cavity with bay leaves.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Let the pig marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor penetration.

Preheat your oven or outdoor roaster to 300°F (150°C). If using an outdoor roaster, prepare it according to manufacturer instructions.

Place the pig, skin-side up, in the roasting pan or on the rotisserie. If using an oven, you may need to tent the thinner parts with foil to prevent overcooking.
⏱️ 6-8 hours - 6
Roast for 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the meat, and the skin is deeply golden brown and crackling. Baste occasionally with pan juices.
