We don’t kill many where I hunt and last weekend I was lucky enough to get one. Plucked it clean and planned on cooking it today. I found a few recipes online to pot roast it. One being stuffing with apples and using chicken broth.

Any tips or tricks yall recommend?

specks do very well in a hybrid wet/dry cook like an oven bag. The best goose for cooking no question is a specklebelly the sweet spot is tender luscious meat with a little exterior crispness. Oven bags do that nicely

We always pot roasted them in magnalites, season well inside & out, stuff cavity w/onions & apples, rub skin liberally with Bama grape jelly, And about midway through cooking process, add more onions, bell peppers, celery, some root vegetables and quart of chicken stock to roaster & finish cooking.

Pot roast is good…. Put what you want for stuffing or use nothing at all.

I’d brown the shite out of it and then do it like a traditional pot roast. If you want to get creative…. Maybe smoke it for an hour or 2 before pot roasting it.

Killed a bunch last week a little south of Stuttgart. They’re frickin everywhere out there.

Cooked a bunch of breast back at the club west of Memphis. Seasoned liked a steak and cooked on the grill to about 140-45 and sliced as apps.

Then my Arky buddies wanted a pastalaya…. So I made one with specks, chicken and andouille. It was killer.

Stuff cavity with sausage. Roast in a roasting pan. Serve with roasted vegetables.

Another option is to butterfly the breast and legs off all in one and sear on a flat top or a skillet.

I’ve stuffed them with onions, bell pepper, garlic turnips and carrots and browned them well and pot roasted them making a great gravy

Our guides cooked it on a grill just like a steak.

It was fantastic.
