Got goose?

[Wanderer]

And aren't a big fan of eating it?

 

I'm OK with marinating and grilling the breasts but the rest of the family aren't big fans.  And I can say I prefer duck too.

 

So I tried smoking the breasts - and loved it!  And now I want more!

 

I took the simple route since it was my first try.  I picked up some High Mountain game bird and poultry brine and let em brine for two days chilled.

 

I put them on my smoker grill with the coals in the side fire box.  4 handfuls of wet mesquite chips during the 2.5 hour smoke at about 250 degrees.  I brushed with olive oil and teriyaki marinade to finish.  Pink and tender throughout, not jerked dry and tough.  Phenomenal.

 

 

I ate the last one yesterday on the deer stand.  After pulling the tenderloin off for the chefs treat, I just slice it thin against the grain.  

 

Give it a try if you feel like the only things to do with geese are to grind em up.
