I've got some geese breast in the freezer that I plucked instead of cutting the skin off and sautéing them and was wondering if any of y'all had any tips or tricks on a good marinated for them. I plan on putting them on the smoker either this evening or tmrw. Is the smoker a good idea or is there a better way to cook them? Any advice is greatly appreciated. and happy 4th

If specklebelly cook rare. Sear like a filet. The longer you cook it the tougher it'll be. If snow/canada jambalaya gumbo etc.

It's Canadians. I've done them in gumbo before but this time was really wanting to cook the whole breast intact which is why I left the skin on and was planning on smoking them.

Hmmm. You have just the breast with skin on it?

I usually either have just breast meat or a fully plucked bird. Couldn't tell you from first hand experience but I'd think about searing it right quick and eating.

What kind of goose?

ETA- I think you could still sear it.

Not sure about smoking, I have never done it.
Slice it very thin, soak in milk, batter in seasoned flour and fry it.

So y'all just pluck the breast and filet it just like you would otherwise? Never thought about doing that

Only cook the skin side?

Sounds amazing but this weekend all of my cooking will be done outside, since I don't have a fryer that rules this out. I'm definitely going to try this soon though.

Should have said that I will be doing all of my cooking outside this weekend. I'm using a kamado cooker so searing is not an issue. I said smoke it because that's how I do my skin on chicken.



I'm replying to each post individually because I'm on my phone

This is the first time I've ever plucked one. I usually just breast them out. I had someone ask for this specifically but they never came and got it. So now I've cooked my dinner for the night and still have most of my cigar left. I looked in my eat freezer and saw this. I originally planned on cooking it tonight but it took longer to thaw than I thought and figured it'd be best to brine overnight anyways.

Must be a local thing here. We call them Canadians if there is more than one, plural obviously. However we also call really tan people Canadians too. As well as Democrats and Mondays. It can get confusing to some. When in Rome though. From now on I'll call em Canada on here

Btw. I wish we had specks in ga like y'all do out there. I've heard they are mighty fine grub

I honestly don't want to be a dick and force the issue but trust me, it's not a local thing; rather, it's grammatically incorrect to say that.

Plural is formed by "geese". A Canadian is a person. To say "Canadian" is like saying "European".

quote:

-an , -ean or -ian

— suffix
1. ( forming adjectives and nouns ) belonging to or relating to; a person belonging to or coming from: European


You've been adivsed now call it what you want. I'm about to get called all kindsashty and get my arse reamed so sit back and enjoy.

Specs are like over-grown teal. Very tasty.

All I cam tell you is goose has very low fat. If cooked wrong it just dries out. If o were cooking. O would make sure it is done in a way to hold the juices....if grilled, wrap it in bacon type recipe. Do NOT cook it past med rare or it WILL dry out
