Roast the pork in a pre-heated 350 degree F oven for 4-6 hours uncovered in a pan with a rack. Roast the pork skin side down for the first 2 hours and then turn skin side up for the remaining time. Pork should be well done and tender when poked with a fork. The pork skin should be brown, hard and peel easily from the meat.
Some people like to eat the skin. Serve with rice and beans or potatoes and a vegetable or salad.

Hello I was reading your recipe to make Pernil I was taught a bit differently ,and do not use the Sazon in it. I do not use MSG in my from in my food if I cna help it I get headaches form it. I think it would be tasty like this also. Where did you learn to put in the Sazon? I was taught as a child by my family in North East Pueto Rico and we used spices and garlic cloves added to olive oil and blend it together. I make a Pernil /pork shoulder roast with some citrus juice as well. Pernil is a tasty pork roast and should be experienced by everyone who loves pork. Thank you
