How does the OB cook goose?

guy in Arkansas took a speck and injected it with creole butter injection, rubbed outside skin with seasoning, then stuffed inside with boudin and some bell peppers and onions.

cooked it for about 45 mins in the oven.

sliced breast and it was some of the best goose I've ever had.

Breasts.

Thats how the guide split them up. No telling what's in there.

Fajitas
Cut into strips and fried
Gumbo (can smoke some first)
Mix with pork and make sausage or tamales


And next time, be sure the guy cleaning the birds isn't a dumbass.

Ive pretty much stopped deep frying stuff, but maybe thats the best thing to do here. I haven't had anything that wasn't awesome pounded out and soaked in grease.

Other than that, he was a pretty good fella. Im not a bird hunter and I know that not all geese are created equal.

Take them, line them up in front of your truck tires. Run over them. Then back over them. Repeat twice more.

Then cook them however you like.

Seriously-the best way (to me) is to smoke them after you kill them. The next best way is tenderizing (soaking in buttermilk overnight) and pan frying.

I've never eaten a spec, so I can't vouch for its tablefare-worthiness.

Don't worry about it Dave. I cubed some spec breasts and snow breasts last week, made a gravy with them both and it was absolutely great. The nasty part of a snow is the bone. Do not cook a snow bone.

Gumbo is the best way to cook a snow.
Specs: gumbo, fajitas, on the grill, gravy

Bad news is that I dont know what Ive got. It's a mixed bsg of specs, lessers and maybe a snow or two.

Bruhhhhhhhh. That's like going out and shooting a limit of teal and coots and saying "hey, I breasted everything out and threw them in this big bag!" The difference between specs and everything is else ridiculous.

Kosher salt, cracked black pepper, little garlic power, and reverse sear in butter to medium rare. It'll change your life and how you cook ducks and geese. FTR, I am not a fan of grilling them to the same temp. For my taste buds, the gamey taste enters hard that way. Not sure why. Maybe it's the butter that mellows it.

I fought off cooking ducks and geese this way for probably 20 years. It's the only way I cook them now.

Mrs Ontario handles the stroganoff but just google a stroganoff recipe and that will work ... its not an old family recipe :)
Grilling the breasts 1st seems to take some of the gamey taste out. Grill to rare/medium rare. Then add everything to crock pot and walk away. Works well, kids like it, Mrs Ontario happy so its all good.

man just take that slice it up marinate it stuff it with cream cheese and jalepenos, wrap it in bacon and toss that on the pit

However Specs should be cooked a different way cause the QUALITY of a spec is much different than the others
