Place the pig tails in a large stockpot and fill it with cold water until the pig tails are fully submerged. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes, then drain the pig tails in a colander and clean the pot.

Let the mixture boil until the pig tails are nearly falling apart, which should take about 2 hours.

Roast the pig tails in the preheated oven until they begin to pop, sizzle, and the skin turns golden brown, about 30 to 40 minutes. Carefully open the oven door, remove the pan, and let the tails cool before serving.
