Ingredients
Instructions
- Salt, pepper, and (optional) sprinkle pieces with pepper duck, a waterfowl seasoning available at some gourmet outlets.
- Dredge the goose pieces in flour.
- Brown the goose pieces on both sides.
- Add 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer.
- Cook for 45 minutes or until the meat is tender.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, let the goose pieces marinate in salt, pepper, and optional pepper duck seasoning for at least 30 minutes before dredging in flour. If you don't have pepper duck, a mix of garlic powder and smoked paprika can provide a similar flavor profile. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying to achieve a crispy texture. Consider serving leftovers with a side of Mixed Sausages Bites for a delightful twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fried goose over Arkansas cooked rice for a comforting meal. Consider pairing with sautéed greens or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the dish. A side of Turkey Dressing (Mama Williams' Style) would complement the flavors beautifully, adding a hearty element to your plate.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fried goose in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the goose pieces in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until heated through, ensuring they remain crispy. You can also reheat in an air fryer for a few minutes for optimal texture.
