Generously sprinkle black pepper over top (skin side) of roast. Pour marinade over pork. Chill, turning pork every few hours, for at least 6 hours.

Place onions in roasting pan around pork. Roast pork, basting with marinade every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part reads 160° F, about 6 hours. Let rest before serving.
