Does anyone has a reliable method / timings for roasting a whole bone in fallow haunch. This is without the shank.
 
Most Foolproof method is get on eBay or gumtree and pick up a second hand sous vide machine for about 30-40 quid

Stick it in a water bath at 52 (rare) 55 (med) for 4 hours then give it a pat dry, salt,oil pepper put it in a preheated oven at max temp for 20mins
Rest for 10min

Second best is get a meat thermometer for 20 quid off Amazon the type on a long cable so you put the unit outside the oven
covered in a low (140c) oven until internal temp is as above then out while the oven heats to max and same as above

Final is follow any pink leg of lamb recipe
Half an hour hot oven then med oven for 15min/lb or so then a good 20min rest
 
Digital meat thermometer - work off beef guidelines as a start point. Too many variables to use generic guidelines I think.
 
I usually go with 25 minutes per 500g weight, plus 25 minutes at 160 degrees in a fan oven. Rest for 15 minutes.
 
Never done a whole haunch. Do people take the gland out at the back prior to cooking or just cut around it when serving?

I had a separate thread about glands. I take them out when I bone out a haunch. Consensus was don’t worry about it when leaving bone in, just watch out for it when carving and don’t eat it.

I also take it out prior to cooking - I had a preconceived notion of it exploding when cooked :lol:

This 100%
Use the basic method of 20 mins high then 15-20 mins per 450g at 145 degrees but be very flexible using thermometer to the right temperature for you and whether you like it rare or not, leg of lamb timings are ideal. Take it out to rest for 20 mins at least before serving and expect the temp to go up 2 degrees or so as it sits there.
This is probably the favourite joint of every member of my family over every other potential animal or cut.
 
I wouldnt worry about the gland.
I suspect anybody that does hasnt tried it more the idea is off to them.
Sweet breads are glands and sell for way more than they are worth
