Prepare the pig by cleaning and removing any hair.

Marinate the pig with garlic, sour orange juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper for at least 12 hours.

Preheat the oven or grill to 250°F (120°C).

Place the pig on a roasting rack, belly side down.

Rub the exterior with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika and red pepper flakes.

Cover the pig with aluminum foil to retain moisture.

Roast for 6-8 hours, basting occasionally with marinade.

Remove the foil during the last hour to crisp the skin until golden brown.

Check the internal temperature, ensuring it reaches at least 190°F (88°C).

Let the pig rest for 30 minutes before carving.

Serve with onions, cilantro, lime juice, and additional marinade.
