Spatchcock

Spatchcocked goose is backbone-out and flattened for even, faster roasting or grilling with maximum skin exposure. It is rich dark poultry with abundant subcutaneous fat and festive depth. Season under the skin, roast or grill hard, rest, and use the backbone for stock. Ideal when whole-bird service must finish faster.
