Place pork in a colander and pour 1 litre of boiling water over the skin. Dry well with paper towel or a clean tea towel and then place on a tray in the fridge to dry out completely (min 2hrs or preferably overnight.)
Remove pork from fridge and let it stand until It's at room temperature. Rub with olive oil, lots of salt and fennel seeds helping the seeds to get inside the cracks.
Preheat oven to 150°.Place on a rack in a roasting tray and cook in the oven for 2hrs.Turn up the oven to 200° and cook for further 30 min
Once you see the golden crackle it’s done!!! Leave to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
