**RECIPE, SERVES 6-8**
1 10-12 lb (4.5-5.5 kg) goose
3 lb (1.36 kg) small waxy potatoes, skin on
1 lb (454g) mustard greens, washed and chopped
1 quart (946mL) black cherry juice
1 quart (946mL) chicken stock
1 bunch fresh sage
flour
Christmassy spices (I used ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves)
dried chili flakes (or any dried spicy chili product, like cayenne)
salt
pepper
Put the goose in a deep roasting tray. Take everything out of the cavity - chunks of fat, the neck, any giblets - and lay it around the goose on the tray. Use a sharp knife to score a diamond pattern over the goose's entire skin and fat layer. Season all sides heavily with the Christmas spices and salt, and be sure to rub the spices into the scored skin.
Position the bird breast-side up in the pan, and put it in a cold oven. Turn the heat on 300ºF (150ºC).
While the bird is roasting, boil the potatoes until they're just fork-tender. Drain them and lay them out on a roasting tray or lipped baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the goose until the internal temperature of the breast is a few degrees short of your desired doneness. If you want it pink, cook the breast to 135-140ºF (57-60ºC), which took me about 45 minutes, but be aware the USDA says cooking any poultry short of 165ºF (74ºC) entails some risk of foodborne illness.
Take the bird out of the oven and cut off both sides of the breast whole. Cover them and set them aside. Flip the goose around so that the thighs are facing up - you can stabilize the bird by letting its leg bones hang over the edge of the tray.
Ladle enough rendered goose fat onto the potatoes to thoroughly coat them and the bottom of their tray. Season the potatoes heavily with salt and pepper.
Put the bird and the potatoes in the oven, and turn the heat up to 400ºF (200ºC). Roast the bird until the thigh reads at least 175ºF (80ºC), which took me another 45 minutes. Take the goose and the potatoes out. Use a glass to crush each potato until you feel the skin pop open, and put them back in the oven.
Take the goose out of the roasting tray and put it aside to rest. Use a ladle to remove as much of the rendered fat from the tray as possible, while leaving behind all of the solids. Put the fat aside - you'll need it later, and whatever you don't use you can freeze.
Turn the burners under the roasting tray on medium heat, and stir enough flour into the remaining fat to make a loose paste. Fry it until it looks and smells brown, then gradually stir in the cherry juice, deglazing the pan as you go. Stir in enough chicken stock to give you the thickness you want, keeping in mind that the flour won't fully thicken the liquid until it boils. Season with salt, pepper and chili flakes to taste. Simmer the gravy for as long as you can to extract flavor from the solids, stirring every now and then to make sure nothing sticks and burns.
Check on the potatoes - when their bottoms are brown, flip each of them over and return them to the oven.
Cut the wings and leg quarters off the goose. Separate the legs from the thighs, and the drumettes from the wing tips. Feel around for any other bits of meat on the carcass you can tear off, then bag up the carcass and the wings tips for stock/soup and put them away.
Strain all the solids out of the gravy and throw them away. If the gravy is too thick, water it down a bit. Set it aside somewhere to keep warm.
When the potatoes are brown and crispy all over, toss them with fresh sage and set them aside somewhere to keep warm.
Right before you want to eat, heat a thick layer of goose fat over medium-high heat in your widest pan. Put the goose breasts in the pan, skin-side down, and fry them until the skin is crispy and the meat is re-heated. Take them out and do the same with the thighs, legs and drumettes. Take them out, then put in the mustard greens.
You'll probably need to wilt down some of the greens before you can add more in. Pouring a little water in the pan will help to get the greens cooking and deglaze the pan. Once all the greens are wilted, stir in salt and pepper to taste. Set the greens aside somewhere to keep warm.

I made this . Dec 25, 2020 Houston, Texas . Took the Breast out as written and cooked the rest of the bird longer....as suggested . I put a cover on it and cooked it long steamed and slow at 300 degrees for 2 to 3 hours. The glaze with the drippings was amazing ., I couldn’t stop tasting it . Yes the potatoes were deelish and the greens ( home grown) were a great slightly bitter accompaniment to cut all the sweetness and fat . I thought I would be settling for less with what seemed like a sort of one flavor goose fat based meal but I was wrong it was a feast in a box. Thanks Adam . See you next Christmas !
Hello fellow Houston person from a year ago. Where did you find the goose was it somewhere local or an online store?
Hello fellow H-town ! I got the goose that year at a Whole Foods just outside of Dallas but I would check with any Whole Foods, and probs Central Market too . I’m investing in a mail order wild Turkey for Thanksgiving from D’Artagn . Wild Turkey is all dark meat even the breast . It’s pricey but I’ve been trying to get one for 3 years because they usually sell out so quickly . I also did a Cabrito this summer ….that was an adventure..
Peace! And go Stro’s !

Made this last night for Friendsmas. They all loved it and none of us have had goose before. Only substitution I made was making peas, carrots and onions instead of the mustard greens. Woke up this morning, diced some leftover goose meat really fine, mixed it with a little bit of the sides & panko then made a patty. Fried it in leftover goose fat, made an egg patty, put it all on an everything bagel before adding cheese and toasting and had one of the best breakfast sandwiches ever.

"There never was such a goose! Bob said there never was such a goose cooked- its tenderness and flavor, size and cheapness were themes of universal admiration! Eked out by the applesauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient meal for the entire family- indeed, as Mrs. Cratchit said with great delight surveying a small atom of a bone upon the dish, they had not ate it all at last... and yet everyone had had enough! And the youngest Cratchits in particular were steeped with sage and onion to the eyebrows!"

Always adored those crisscross cuts on whenever I see them. They just look so gorgeous. Can you do that with chicken?
Not really any point, they help the fat render out and chicken doesn’t have fat caps like that. You’d just be slicing through the skin, and I feel like the skin might just fall off at that point or stick to the pan since chicken skin is always pretty loose in general from the start. You could try it, I guess, if you like the aesthetic that much. People do it on fish so it doesn’t curl up, though.
Yeah you can’t do it with chicken since there isn’t any fat to be rendered like that
It won't help render very much fat, but the skin will probably be crispier. Chef John has a recipe where he does this for chicken thighs. He says it helps them cook more evenly, but I'm not so sure.
no that's illegal
You need a meat with a lot of subcutaneous fat, duck, goose, pork, maybe some cuts of beef, are all good choices. Probably want 1/8 or 1/4 in minimum of fat to be cutting through, and chicken just doesn't have that
don’t mind me, I’m just waiting for the cutlery hypebeasts to comment on Adam’s knife sharpening choices

Now I know what do to with those pesky menaces in my backyard this holiday season.
😂😂😂😂😂
(Loads shotgun with festive intent)
Christmas Goose is the holiday staple in my family, and let me tell you, all of our lives got a whole lot easier when we switched to cooking it low and slow over night. You start the oven off cold, then cook the bird on high heat for about an hour and then turn the oven down to like 70 C and let it cook for several hours.
We start cooking at about 8 or 9 PM on Christmas Eve, turn down the oven right before we go to bed and let it do its thing and then on Christmas Day we'll turn the heat up a bit and give the bird a quick glaze like half an hour before serving it for lunch.
I find this method renders out all of the fat and quickly heats the stuffing out of the 40 C danger zone (yes, we stuff our bird, with what is basically a goose haggis of ground organ meat, some ground chicken and nuts as filler and a bunch of herbs). Then everything has time to properly cook to 70 C, at which point both bird and stuffing are thoroughly cooked and safe to eat, the goose meat is both very tender and juicy, and the skin crispy and flavorful. The only downside to this method is that there is very little in terms of drippings to collect and make into a gravy, so as a fix I've taken to simply buying some extra goose trimmings and making a nice dark fond out of those beforehand. The main body of the gravy is made from that stock and whatever goose drippings do accumulate are added to this to really bring out those roasted goose flavors and christmas-y herbs and spices.
Anyway, doing this made our Christmas goose both tastier and a *lot* easier to prepare, since the low and slow method is so forgiving in terms of timing. Pretty much all of the prep work is done in the days before Christmas, Goose goes in the oven on Christmas Eve and is done whenever we feel like eating lunch and the sides are ready on Christmas Day. Highly recommend this method.

Thank you so much from your European audience! I will definitely do a spin on this recipe for my family on Christmas. I will probably deconstruct the bird before I roast it and make brown stock and gravy with the carcass beforehand. We have red cabbage with red wine as a side traditionally.
Love the criss cross. We tried goose for Thanksgiving a few years ago, and our recipe had use prick the skin all over and then suspend the thing over a pan with water to steam-render all the fat. Then after that was done, we cut up pork lardons and strung them through the holes before roasting. It was quite a process! And my sister took home several large mason jars filled with the rendered fat.
Verdict: it was super delicious, like an entire bird made from dark meat. We often talk about it but we haven't done it since, even though it was tastier than turkey.

We just ate it! Tastes amazing, espacially the potatoes. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for the amazing dinner Adam!
Here in Sweden we have a soup called “Black soup.” It’s made with goose blood, veal stock, red wine, etc. I haven’t had it but it looks interesting. It’s eaten on November 10 mostly in the region of Scania (I think). It’s a celebration of the Saint Martinus I believe (I’m not a Christian so I’m not too well versed in the reasoning).
My family makes this goose every year
for as long as i remember
On 31 Dec everyone comes together like a 2nd thanksgiving...🤤
When we started our family we did the same thing- made more sense to work on the holiday- always used pre made brown sugar ham glaze with a little extra nutmeg.
My dad made a Christmas dinner consisting of almost precisely the same things you've made here. He said it was a whole pain in the ass to bring it together, but it was one of the best meals he's ever made, and he's an amazing cook.

We just cooked a goose for Thanksgiving because we couldn't find a small enough turkey and it was amazing.

I tried roasting a goose once and it also came out tough.

I trusted your tenderloin recipe (plus the potatoes, not the veg lol) last year for Christmas dinner. Worked ABSOLUTELY perfectly! Actually done the potatoes 3 times since, always AMAZING. I will surely see about doing this. Looks so good
My family always alternate goose/turkey on Christmas (so one year goose, the next year turkey). I love the gaminess of goose - so much flavour! Might be fun to do a video on other game birds (partridge, pheasant etc.). IMO game birds are criminally underrated!
I really appreciate that you just as much as (if not more) emphasis on the actual flavor and texture of the bird vs. the safety issues in your little spiel about cooking it pink. So many people talk about this topic as if every person is severely immunocompromised instead of acknowledging that the risk of disease from eating rare meat or raw cookie dough is much smaller for some than it is for others.
Thanks Adam! I have a huge turkey thawing in the fridge; I'm terrified to cook something as big as a holiday bird but you're spatchcock video made me feel confident enough to try it myself.
Hey Adam,
just wanted to say we tried this recipe for our Christmas Eve meal and it was fantastic.
We just cooked the goose a little longer in the oven because my parents were not on board with it being so "raw" and we switched the mustard greens with red cabbage since that is what we traditionally eat with our christmas goose here in Germany, but otherwise it was the same.
The sauce especially was very delicious.
I don't think your parents know what raw is.
@@oskarelysee9076 Not fully cooked.
That is interesting, that you say that. That you eat goose as a traditional german christmas dinner. Because I come from the south west of Germany and I have never eaten any goose at all. Not at christmas, not at any other time of the year. And when with my friends at the university, we were talking about christmas that one time, an international student asked "so, are you guys goingto eat goose for christmas? I heard i is the traditional christmas dinner in Germany". It turned out, that I wasn't the only german student to have never even eaten goose at all, but we were all coming from different parts of the german south. I never even had heard before then, that that was a traditional german christmas food. Is that like a north german thing or something?
Now you got me suprised, I thought every german at least knew what a Weihnachtsgans is ;D I honestly can't tell you if its a north german thing. I am from central/west Germany (Hessen/NRW), and here everybody at least knows about it. Some people use turkey or duck instead of goose and some people have different christmas meals alltogether but in my social environment goose was what me made most of the time.@@martinbruhn5274

These videos and the commentary especially are so good! Thanks, Adam!
I've been binging Adam's videos and I feel like his only sponsor is squarespace.
I made the goose part of this (and used the fat for Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes) and damn it is really good, 10/10 would recommend (I used a 11 lbs goose and it fed 7 adults perfectly). Looking forward to making stock with the carcass!!
Goose is actually traditionally served here in Czechia as a pre-christmas season food on the 11th of November (around when the first snow should start falling, though it rarely does right now due to global warming and such). The goose is roasted in wine and spices, with a variation of red and white sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) and either bread or potato sliced dumplings. Its something traditionally eaten with special "Saint Martin" wine on the side, a special kind of red wine only sold on this day.
We here serve it to honor Saint Martin of Tours, who as far as I know is only celebrated here locally due to his acts of kindness and non-lavish way of living, despite his high position in the west roman military. The story most well known is about the time he severed his cloak and gave one half to a freezing beggar to help him from the cold, though other legends of his are also told on this day.
And from what Ive read, its very possible people in France and other parts of Central Europe also celebrate something similar, though I have no sources to back up that claim.
Anyhow, I find it quite funny that even on the other side of the globe, people have come to love goose as a traditional christmas or pre christmas roast. Also I really have to try making those glass pressed potatoes, they look downright fancy.
St Martin's Day was the Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras of the pre-Christmas fast across much of Europe before Advent developed, and so was known as the last great day of feasting and fairs before Christmas. I think in England it was the traditional day for slaughtering cattle for the winter and so beef was traditional fare, but Norwegian friends of mine have asserted that goose was traditional there too.

This was glorious. I have multiple jars of animal fat in the fridge and freezer at all times for roasting potatoes. It is my secret weapon.
Made this earlier this year and absolutely loved it. Fantasy recipe, Adam!

made this a couple years ago. it was a lot of work but probably my favorite meal I ever made. I'm considering making it again this year. Very well made video! Thank you for all the instruction.
I've watched this several times since you released and am finally giving it a go this Christmas so thank you! But each time I laugh my arse off at the "NOT THE BLUE LIGHT NOT THE BLUE LIGHT" portion. 😂
Hey Adam, here's a video idea.
Christmas goose pot pie.
Sounds great
Hey adam could you please make a New York style cheesecake recipe please.

LOL...didn't know you have a CZcams channel...been watching you on TikTok. I must have been living under a rock :D Needless to say...I just subscribed
Hey adam, I am from Spain and when you have bits of birds or anything you can make "Croquetas", honestly one of the best dishes out there!
Ah yes the surgery light for Adam’s other channel where he teaches easy in home operations and autopsies
“Personally, I like to sew up the incision wound, but you do you.”
Why i sanitize my patient's liver and not my scalpel

Can’t believe I missed this upload. Thanks for the recipe, Adam! I’ll check back in after I make it.
Great work, lots of information with clarity and great commentary. Beauty.
I'm just here for the Potatoes...
Last time I was this early, Adam’s channel didn’t exist.
Yay! Thank you for this. My husband decided to buy a goose this yet and I was floundering.
Your magic is strong Master Wizard.
I am so excited to make Christmas Roast Goose this year.
