THE HOLIDAYS PRESENT THE PERFECT OCCASION TO PREPARE A DELICIOUS ROAST GOOSE.
weekendatthecottage.com/roast...
WORD ON THE BIRD
Unlike other poultry, geese are “big-boned”, meaning, there’s less meat compared let's say to turkey. Smaller, younger geese are often more tender, and a plump, organic, free-range goose is always preferred. If serving large numbers, you may wish to consider roasting two birds to ensure everyone has ample to enjoy.
We prepared a 9-pound goose for this recipe which adequately served 6 guests. A good rule is to allow 1.5 pounds (about 750g) per person. Order your goose from a trusted butcher, giving them ample time to find you the perfect bird.
FAT & STUFF
Geese are notoriously fatty birds, so it’s essential to prick or pierce the skin of the goose before roasting. We used a metal brochette to accomplish this, but the tip of a small sharp knife will also do the trick. This ensures the fat melts away from the bird as it roasts.
We filled the cavity of this goose with a mix of onion, apple, and herbs to enhance the flavour of the meat. Please don’t get fancy and swap those ingredients for stuffing as it will only act as a sponge and soaks up all the rendered fat.
GLAZE & ROAST
A crispy-skinned goose is the ultimate goal, and we achieved this by basting it at regular intervals with a glaze of orange juice, honey, and spices. If you decide not to make this glaze, at least baste the goose with its own rendered fat to achieve that crispy skin.
Roasting the goose for the first hour at 325˚F provides ample time for much of the fat to melt away. The reduction of the oven temperature to 275˚F for the second and third hour continues to melt the fat, but it also ensures tender meat and crispy skin.
TAKING STOCK
While the goose was roasting, we opted to make a rich poultry stock. This rich, velvety stock can then be used to create gravy or delicious soup.
COOK TIME & SERVICE
We took the goose out of the oven when our meat thermometer registered 66˚C or 150˚F. We then covered it loosely with tin foil and let it rest for an additional 45 minutes before carving. The temperature when we carved was 70˚C or 160˚F. The flesh was moist and tender, just as we expected.
A holiday tradition, serve ROAST GOOSE and present it with best wishes to each and all. Season’s greetings!
INGREDIENTS
1 9-pound goose
1 white onion, roughly chopped
1 apple, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons of fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons of fresh sage, chopped
kosher salt, about 2 tablespoons
black pepper, about 1 tablespoon
For the glaze:
1 tablespoon of honey
½ cup of fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Before preparation: If using a frozen goose, place it in the refrigerator for 48 hours to fully defrost. The day before preparation, unwrap it and withdraw the neck, heart, liver and giblets from the cavity. Take a sharp knife and cut away the wingtips. All of these parts can be used to make a goose stock.
2) Using paper towels, dry out the interior and exterior of the goose. Rub a sprinkle of kosher salt and black pepper in the cavity. Mix onion, apple, and herbs in a small bowl and place this mixture into the cavity of the goose. Tie the legs together using butcher’s string. Add a generous sprinkle of salt on the outside of the goose before placing it onto a stainless rack and refrigerating it uncovered for 24 hours.
3) Day of preparation: Remove the goose from the refrigerator and give it an hour to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 325˚F with the oven rack in the lower 2/3 position. Take a metal brochette or a small sharp knife and gently pierce the skin of the goose at an angle every few centimeters, being careful to pierce just the skin and not the meat. Transfer the goose onto a wire rack in a metal roasting pan.
4) Place the goose in the oven and roast for 1 hour. While the goose is roasting, place all of the ingredients for the glaze into a small bowl and whisk together.
5) After an hour, take the goose out of the oven. Reduce the temperature to 275˚F. Carefully lift the goose and rack out of the roasting pan. Drain the fat into a metal bowl. Return the rack and goose to the roasting pan and place back into the oven. Baste the goose with glaze every 20 minutes.
6) Roast the goose for an additional 2 hours, or until a meat thermometer registers 160°F at the center of the breast.
7) Remove goose to a carving board and cover loosely with tin foil, allowing it to rest for 45 minutes before carving.

Here in England, I always stuff my goose and duck with a stuffing of apples, onions, breadcrumbs, and prunes which have been soaked in brandy. It's next level tasty. I was so glad to see you dry brined the bird. That is so important before roasting any bird, especially turkey.

Thanks for watching Gary! LOVE the stuffing you described - thinking the brandy soaked delicacies must add a certain fabulousness to taste. We've actually added this post to our re-shoot list for 2024. Would you like to share the stuffing details... even if making the stuffing is more "gather up" as opposed to written measurements? If so, kindly forward; nik@weekendatthecottage.com. Thanks and happy holidays!
Remember that part in A Christmas Carol where the Cratchett Family had that fantastic roast goose? We need to bring back Christmas geese.

I'm cooking my first goose today. A big 12 lb goose. I don't have cayenne, so I substituted chili powder. And I had no sage so rosemary it was. I have never had goose, I have be reassured I will adore it. I did find that after I set it in the refrigerator over night it was much easier to remove the little quills. I took the bag off and saw quite a few down feathers and quills I spend two hours with tweezers, Paper towels, and still had quills. So much I could have made my own pillow, and started making pens to sell at office depot. Ok not really.
