Now, this is a typical Croatian meal. It is a variation of a whole piglet on a spit machine (we call it in Croatia: a happy machine) when you have only a part of a piglet. Anyway, it tastes the same, maybe even better. It goes excellent with sauerkraut.
Wash the piglet leg and salt it. DO NOT salt the skin. Cut the skin with sharp knife and make a “chess board” on it. Preheat oil in a pot. Pour HOT oil over the piglet skin and quickly put the piglet in hot oven (220°C). You bake piglet as follows: 1 kg = 1 hour. After 15 min reduce heat to 180°C and pour over piglet 1/3 of your beer. After approximately 1,5 hours pour over another 1/3 of your beer. About 20 minutes before it is done heat the over back to 220°C and pour over the piglet last 1/3 of your beer. Wondering around hot oven obviously requires more than half a liter of beer, so keep one for the piglet and three for you.
