Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If moisture remains on the skin or if it gets wet from dripping meat juices during cooking, the skin will become tough instead of crispy, so you must carefully manage to keep it completely dry.
  • Using refrigerated raw meat makes it harder to shape than frozen, but the final taste and tenderness are far superior.
  • Using a large-capacity air fryer with stronger hot air circulation than a regular oven can achieve an even more uniform and crispy skin.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate authentic, crispy and moist German Schweinshaxe right at home.
  • Skilled home cooks who want to invest time and effort to create a meat dish with the ultimate texture.
