Hogs are a good choice on a TH8 and I'm assuming you have 200 camp capacity. So you want 32 hogs which equals 160 capacity and 40 archers. If you have a 20 capacity CC then have five wiz as high level as you can get, level 6 preferably but level 5 is acceptable, don't go lower than that. If you have a 25 capacity CC then 6 wiz and 1 arch or a pekka. If you know that the enemy CC is filled with archers and wiz than trade one of the heal spells for a lightning, if it's a drag or you don't know what's in there then have all spells as heal.
What you want to do first is draw out CC troops by sending two hogs to attack the not maxed wiz tower on the left. Those hogs will die quickly but will get the troops out. Once that's happened use one archer to attack the laboratory at the top of the base. this will draw the cc troops up to the lab. Drop the lightning on them once they've all got to the lab and are packed together. If you didn't take the lightning or its a drag in the enemy cc surround the troops with archers. Deploy about 20 in a semi circle surrounding the enemy to kill them.
Once that's dealt with drop two hogs above the top cannons, if it is a big bomb by the cannons those two hogs will trip it and once it has exploded drop the rest of you hogs at that top point. Your hogs will most likely split off into two groups so keep an eye on them. You will most likely have to drop the heal spells after each group has taken out the wiz towers.
once you've dropped all heal spells there is nothing else you can do for the hogs so focus on the other troops. You should still have 20 archers, the barb king and CC. Drop the archers and barb king at the top of the map and let them work their way down either side of the base. Once they've cleared most of the out buildings drop the CC so that the wiz can quickly destroy the walls and work their way towards the TH and they will make quick work of the barb king by TH as well.
Good luck
