They get pretty good if you slice up the breasts and put them in a ziplock baggy and fill with your favorite BBQ sauce and put them in the fridge for a couple of days and pan fry them.

 I make em up into fajitas sometimes. Me likey.

Great is the stake placed in our hands; great is the responsibility which must rest upon the people of the United States. Let us realize the importance of the attitude in which we stand before the world. Let us exercise forbearance and firmness.

This is the only way I have been preparing goose for the last three years. If you did not know it was goose you would swear it really was corned beef. It makes excellent Rubens


4-5 lbs. Cleaned, deboned and defatted Goose Breast
 
(NOTE: Goose legs and thighs work just as well; try this recipe on ducks and cranes also)
 
 
5T Morton’s Tenderquick
2T Brown Sugar
1T Black Pepper
1t Paprika
1t Allspice
½t garlic powder (garlic salt will work)
 
Mix spices in a bowl and coat meat with mix. Place meat in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for 5 days minimum (8-10 days is better).   Turn meat bag over everyday. Place the meat in a roaster and roast the meat in the oven at 250º to 300º for 2 to 3 hours with a minimal amount of water.
 
Option: Place the meat in a crock pot, cover with water and cook at high setting for 5-6 hours.

I used to think that too,    I used to give away every duck and goose that I could ...      Now I will take every goose I can get my hands on .   I Have never tried this with ducks  but I know geese sure turn out good.

I've cooked a lot of waterfowl in my day, but last week I made the best waterfowl I've ever ate, period.....I will say it was a combo of ideas I got from 2 or 3 other places, that jalapeno dove recipe from this website being one of them.

I made up 5 ducks (10 breasts) today and vaccum sealed them for a rainy day....

Bear with me on the recipe, I don't measure crap, just throw it all together as I go.

What I did was tenderize the heck out of 4 whole duck breasts, using a Jacarrd tenderizer. You can use goose as well, just cut the breasts in half and go from there I suppose.
Than I marinated overnight.

Marinade: (didn't need a lot for 4 duck breasts)
EVOO - this was the majority of the marinade
Red Wine Vinegar - about half of your EVOO quantity, maybe a little more.
Few dashed of worchestershire
2-3oz of pickled jalapeno juice (from the sliced pickled jalapenos you buy at the grocery store)
plenty of seasonigs

Guys, I just throw crap together until it tastes good. I used the ingredients in this marinade because they will further tenderize the meat. You could use whatever marinade you like best.

Once marinated, I used a fillet knife to cut in half, from the side, butterfly it I guess.
Than I pounded it flatter with a hammer. (this is a good time to add more seasoning)
Than add layer 1 of cream cheese and jalapenos (I used the slice pickled ones tonight)
Roll up enough to cover layer one, and than add a second layer to the side of your rolled up layer one.
Than wrap the rolled up duck breast in 2 peices of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.

I grilled med low for about a half hour, and than cranked it up at the end to crisp up the bacon. It turned out perfect. Meat had a little pink in it, which is over done for me, but it was still very good.

I've found that those who have a distain for wild game generally can't cook good enough to keep from screwing up a hamburger. This is a good marinade for goose breast. Slice in 1" strips, marinate over night, wrap with bacon then barbeque on a hot grill to medium rare, no more than medium. Overcooking is generally why people don't like waterfowl.

1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Worserchestsire Sauce
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Flour
1/4 cup Oil  
3 teaspoons of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
1 teaspoon of sesame oil

Actually, the truth is that I'm a very good cook and make some of the best hamburgers that have ever been made.  I just don't like wild water fowl.  Most other wild game I love to eat but have never had or made wild duck/goose/crane/etc. that tasted good to me.  I've had some very good domestic farm raised duck.

No offense meant, I wasn't talking about you, just speaking in general terms. Actually didn't read through the posts that close before I posted, I was referring to what I hear from people at work.

I get a kick out of people who think any wild game has to be thoroughly cooked so they don't "get sick" from eating it. I like venison steak, but I've had some venison steak others have cooked that was tough to keep down.

I understand that not everyone likes everything, hell, I'm not that fond of lutefisk myself.

Yup, lots of good marinades to use on it to make it taste damn good. Personally, if I don't feel like putting a lot of work into it, I'll just cube it up and marinate it in either Italian dressing or Allegro marinade. Once marinated just skewer and grill to med rare and wa la, you have very edible waterfowl...You can even dip it in your favorite steak sauce if you desire.

If I'm ambitious and have guests coming I'll make a big pot of chili, or make some "stuffed duck" as mentioned above.

I feel bad for you guys that have never had a good goose or duck meal.  I absolutely love them and do not use any marinades.  Try cooking them like a roast chicken.  If the feathers are easy to get out, leave the skin on the breasts.  If the pin feathers are stuck or the skin is damage, wrap in bacon.

Salt the inside.  Stuff loosely with quartered onions.  Roast uncovered, at 400°.  Roast a 1-2 pound duck, 60 to 90 minutes.  For a 2-4 pound goose allow 1 1/2 - 3 hours, 4-6 pound goose, allow 3-4 hours.  Cap loosely with foil if necessary to prevent excess browning.  Discard stuffing.

Serve with your mashed potatoes.  And don't forget the goose gravy.  Giggity...
