For an even more intense flavor, consider adding a splash of rum or a pinch of cumin to the marinade. Scoring the pork skin in a crosshatch pattern before roasting helps to render the fat and create extra crispy crackling. Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. If the skin starts to brown too quickly, tent the pork with foil to prevent burning.
