Being in FL we are blessed to have so many Puerto Rican restaurants, but to cook this at home on the BGE will be so fulfilling. Definitely giving this a try .. thanks for posting. Looks fantastic!

Looks good Ross. I take it the skin didn't crisp up enough for cracklings? I've cooked this recipe a couple of times at higher temps and still haven't quite got as nice of cracklings as I'd like.
