Tips for a good suckling pig recipe in a airfryer

• If you want you can add a potato peeled and cut into strips for the last 15 minutes under the suckling pig so that it takes on the flavor of the sauce
• You can add spices such as black pepper or some seasoning such as barbecue seasoning
• The brandy is eye-catching but I do not recommend that you go overboard because it leaves a very strong taste
• Many people like to add a squeeze of lemon juice on top of the suckling pig before cooking.

Substitution of ingredients

• Lard ➡️ Regular butter or another type of butter (there will be a different flavor but not bad)
