ideas for whole goose??

[JOE_DIRT]

I know it has been asked before for goose breasts, but I have a few whole Canadien geese and I have no idea what to do other than put them in the crock pot. I know there are a few goose hunters on here, so let's here them.

Hey Joe hope you got the young and tender ones

We used to make a sausage stuffing and put bacon strips over the breats. They be done when the juice runs clear from a poke with a fork in the thigh.

Make a nice gravy from the drippings and if you need to suppliment with some store bought

Now comes the wild part. One will eat like buttah and the next one son is a marathon bird sponsored by some titanium manufacturer. I never figured it out and have since stopped huntin for other reasons but good luck with them

If you get a tough one just blame it on me

Get a smoker, only way to treat a goose.

Soak some pine shats in sea water overnite.
Stuff the birds cavity w/ pine shats, and bake @350 for 4 hours.
When time is up, throw out the bird, and eat the pine shats!!

But seriously, I've never been able to do well w/ whole goose.
Breasts are a different story.

smoker is the right way to do a goose. They turn out tender. The grease drips out during the smoke. Use plenty of juice or water to keep the air moist.

1st make the rub

1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp Tony Chacheres' Cajun seasoning, 2 tsp garlic powder.

Rinse and pat dry goose inside and out and apply the rub inside and out.
Place in fridge for at least 24 hours.

Smoke with apple wood according to smoker directions

Tip, take the goose out of the fridge at least an hour before smoking and let it get to room temp before putting it in the smoker.

I have never cooked a whole goose that was frozen but....we often cook a whole freshly killed goose just like a turkey. Roast it in the oven, keep the drippings and make dumplings. Make you want to smack mama it's so good.
