Begin by seasoning the pork roast with salt, paying special attention to the skin.
Next, place the pork roast in a large pot to allow for proper convection, letting the fat drip down into the meat.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Roast the pork until it develops a beautiful golden color.
Once golden, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F and continue cooking for an additional 40 minutes until perfectly done.
While the pork is roasting, prepare the lardon by cooking the smoked bacon in a pan.
Add the diced shallots and thyme leaves to the pan with the bacon, cooking until the shallots become translucent.
Pour in the whiskey and allow it to cook off the alcohol.
Finally, stir in the maple syrup and chicken stock, then reduce the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency.
