If using a BBQ grill, cook pig’s tail on each side for 3 minutes and then add the sauce and again leave each side for 4 minutes until the fat has somewhat melted and is dark and sizzling.
If using oven, cover pig’s tail with foil and bake for 6 minutes without sauce. Brush BBQ sauce onto pig’s tail, making sure both sides are covered completely in sauce.
Leave for another 5 minutes, still covered with foil, and then for another 3 minutes without the foil to achieve a dark crispness on the outside.
Best served hot!
