Chef John's Roast Christmas Goose Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Chef John's Roast Christmas Goose Recipe). I used half the wings to make a basic reduction sauce and the subtle smokiness worked wonderfully with the red wine, balsamic vinegar, and blackberry notes. The sauce is certainly optional, as this could be served plain with just some cranberry sauce on the side. I hope you're able to give this very easy-to-prepare, gorgeous roast goose a try.
