Print Recipe

A Southern-inspired holiday dish featuring crispy golden skin and tender, juicy goose marinated in tangy buttermilk and fried to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole goose (8–10 pounds, cleaned and trimmed)
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil (enough to fill skillet halfway)

Instructions

  1. Clean and trim the goose, removing excess fat, and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge the goose in the mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet or fryer and heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  5. Remove the goose from the marinade and let excess drip off. Dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
  6. Carefully place the goose pieces into the hot oil. Fry in batches if needed, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy—about 25-30 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove the fried goose and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve immediately for the ultimate crispy, juicy experience.

Notes

Marinate the goose overnight for best flavor and tenderness. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for even frying. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
