Lechon is a celebratory Filipino dish featuring a whole suckling pig stuffed with aromatics like lemongrass, garlic, onions, and bay leaves, slow-roasted over open charcoal flames until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. Originating from Cebu, Philippines, it is traditionally prepared for large gatherings, fiestas, and holidays like Christmas. The lengthy roasting process and crisp skin are points of pride and culinary competition across regions.

Common variations include Lechon Cebu (with strong herb and spice infusion) and Lechon Luzon (served with liver sauce).
