Skin On

Skin-on goose breast bastes itself as fat renders; the skin should finish crisp while the meat stays just done. It is rich dark poultry with abundant subcutaneous fat and festive depth. Start skin-side down in a moderately hot pan, finish in the oven if thick, rest. Dry the skin well first. Render fat carefully; legs like confit or braise, while breast can stay rosy.
