Decided to smoke a goose for Christmas. It was a big hit. We also got about 4 cups of smoked goose fat out of it.
I used a 2:1 kosher salt and maple sugar mix for dry brining the bird and left it in the fridge uncovered over night. The method I used to smoke it is here: https://blog.thermoworks.com/chicken/smoked-christmas-goose/
What are you gonna do with 4 cups of duck fat? I don’t get that much rendered fat from my brisket trim. That’s a ton.
Potatoes! Not sure what else I can do with it, but I'll think of something. It tastes awesome.
