Cooked myself a hog leg last night, and it turned out great, so I though I would share what I did. Removed the leg from the hog, and placed it in the cooler for 4 days, flushing out the blood, running off the melted ice, and topping off with new ice every day. I then took the leg out of the cooler, dried it off, and made a pan out of aluminum foil, placing the leg in the pan, on a tray. (next time I will just use a tray that is a couple of inches tall on the sides) Then I covered the meat in olive oil, and seasoned it with equal parts of white pepper, sage, rosemary, garlic powder and onion powder. I then covered the meat with bacon, can’t go wrong with bacon, right? lol. One of the other legs was cut up for sausage, so I taken the bone, and simmered it for a couple of hours, making a stock (this was done the day before). I took some of this stock, and placed about half an inch worth in the pan. The pan was then sealed up with more aluminum foil, and I made as good a seal as I could, in an attempt to keep the moisture in. Now it was time for the oven, 225 degs, for 4 hours got the meat to 170. I then turned the oven down, to minimum, 170, and left the meat there for another 4 hours. Would have been shorter, however the local bar was ‘callin me’ After removing the leg from the oven, I took a couple of cups of the stock that was in the bottom of the pan, there was now about 3 times more than what I had started with. I took a tablespoon of cornstarch, mixed that in with the stock, and heated it up to thicken. Carved the meat and served…………..dang, I was impressed, very moist, and very flavorsome, with no gamey taste, doubt I will be making much sausage in the future. Roasted hog leg is the way to go.

Try a cooking bag the next time. No mess at all. I use them on turkeys, ribs and butts.

My wife just did up the hams from a 25 pounder in a crockpot, man that good. I caught about 30 that size last year and kept about half for myself and gave away the rest. It is hard to beat. I am going to try Scottishredneck's way, sounds good.

I am going to try Scottishredneck's way, sounds good. Those small pigs quartered in a crock pot with chicken broth/onion/garlic/seasoning is VERY hard to beat! When they are done (falling apart), I remove the meat and most of the liquid (add back whatever is needed). Pull the bones, shred the meat, season with fajita seasoning and a little cumin, toast up some corn torts with all the fixings and make some of the best tacos on Earth.
