I usually leave the skin on until a day before i cook but thats because i cant hang them whole. Just helps stop hair getting everywhere.
2 things i always do no matter how im cooking it. Brine it for 4-8 hours and remove this gland here. You separate two muscle groups on the leg, you can do it without deboning the whole leg by making a "flap" as i have in the photo.
Especially worth while removing the gland if you are going to roast or mince.
