Delicious! Perfectly seasoned and done to perfection! I'm not a big crackle fan but there was plenty of crackle perfectly done for those that enjoy it, I slacked off and didn't take any pictures as I was too busy getting the sides completed. Served it with potatoes roasted around the meat, cole slaw, aparagus, and candied sweet potatoes. It was a feast fit for royalty lol. Made for Billboard tag.
