Lechón (Tagalog: Litson) is connoted with a roasted whole pig, lechón baboy. Chicken and beef, are also popular. The process of lechón involves the whole pig/piglet, chicken, or cattle/calf to be slowly roasted over charcoals. Similar in method to Chinese Peking duck, Bali Guling celeng, or Western suckling pig, this day-long and arduous method of roasting leaves a crispy skin and inside and very moist meat.
