3. How to Perfectly Prepare Christmas Goose
Get all the ingredients for the roast poultry, side dishes and sauce…I wrote you some information right away:
Poultry Roast and Gravy:
- Buy goose: Buy fresh or frozen poultry .
- Defrost poultry : Place on a deep baking tray overnight, cover with tea towel.
- Sauce in best of variant : cook a veal stock yourself or buy it in a jar.
- Filling : Prepare enough onions , apples and marjoram or mugwort
The classic filling for roast goose consists of onions , apple and mugwort .
Shopping tip from chef Thomas Sixt
Frozen geese are better , the meat is more tender !
A little background knowledge and tradition:
Mugwort and/or marjoram as an addition have a cultural background:
The mugwort whose botanical name is Artemisia vulgaris is specifically related to Artemis.
This is the Greek goddess of the wild hunt, the virgin warlike moon goddess,
the mistress of medicinal plants and herbalists as well as the patron saint of wild animals and protector of women and guardian of childbirth.
Mugwort and marjoram support the taste and fat burning of high-fat dishes, so these herbs are ideal for roast poultry.
Side dishes:
- Red cabbage : I usually cook it myself the day before.
- Prepared red cabbage : You can buy red cabbage frozen or in a jar and refine it
- Ködel as a side dish : prepare serviette dumplings with bread rolls or pretzel sticks , alternatively potato dumplings .
4. Christmas Goose Preparation Time
Depending on the oven and the weight of the goose, the cooking time is 2.5-3 hours at a temperature of 170 ° Celsius (338°F) in the hot air oven setting .
If you use bottom and top heat , frequent turning of the roast poultry is necessary for an even cooking result .
How long does the goose take in the oven? The preparation time of the “Videogans” with a weight of 3.5 kg: 2 hours
Cooking tip: how long does the goose need in the oven from chef Thomas Sixt
5. Tips on Kitchen Timing and Preparation Plan
To make cooking fun, here are a few tips from the professional kitchen for optimal timing…
- Think of the red cabbage, ideally cook it the day before.
- Put your roast poultry in the oven in the morning if you want to put the roast on the table in the evening.
- Release of the roast poultry around 12 o’clock .
- Carve the breast, drumsticks and meat from the carcass and place skin side up on a baking sheet .
- Use the carcass, stuffing, offal, neck and parts of the drippings with veal stock to prepare the goose sauce .
- Take care of the side dishes in the afternoon .
- Strain the goose sauce after 2-3 hours cooking time , bind and prepare .
Later, heat the pieces of goose under the grill until crispy , serve the heated side dishes and serve the delicious roast poultry with the sauce .
Star Chefs would be happy about this classic roast poultry!

6. Nine Cooking Videos How to Prepare Christmas Goose with Side Dishes
In the introduction I promised you some videos for the preparation.
You can find the entire preparation of roast poultry, side dishes and sauce with all the tips as a complete playlist here .
You could watch the entire preparation at your leisure and take all the tips with you :-)!
6.1 Video Cooking Goose in the Oven
6.2 Red Cabbage as Side Dishes
I cook the red cabbage fresh the day before because it is already prepared.
In addition, the red cabbage simply tastes better reheated several times.
6.3 Dumplings as a Side Dish
You can prepare bread dumplings or napkin dumplings.
I show you how to prepare the serving dumplings in the video.
If you want to save time here, you can use a ready-made dumpling.
Half and half potato dumplings have proven themselves as a side dish.
You can find even more information, variants and tips in the recipe for napkin dumplings.

6.4 Cook Roast Goose Perfectly Crispy
Pour the gravy over the goose every 20 minutes and don’t forget to add salt.
6.5 Trigger or Carve Roast Goose
Here is the description to make sure it works:
- First remove the thighs , then the breasts along the sternum .
- Remove the remaining goose meat from the bone with a small knife and use it for Gröstl .
- Place shelled goose pieces skin- side up on a baking sheet .
- The goose legs can be divided again at the joint, breasts should only be divided after the crispy grilling so that they remain juicy .
With my way of preparing roast goose, the goose has already been released before the guests arrive.
Serve stress-free roast goose Tip from chef Thomas Sixt
This is how I bring the pieces of goose to the plate perfectly cooked and crispy.
Shortly before serving, the goose pieces are put back into the oven on the grill with hot air at 220°C (428°F).
This way I can cook the goose pieces exactly hot and crispy. This relieves the strain in the kitchen and delivers an optimal result.
6.6 Prepare Goose Sauce
Once the goose has been roasted and raised , there is still time to use the carcasses to cook a great goose sauce that really deserves its name.
Here are the instructions in short:
- Sauté apple pieces , finely chopped onions and marjoram in a tall saucepan. You can use goose fat !
- Add the carcasses , leftovers from the pan with a little goose fat or only the dark roast fat.
- You can also put the innards, wings and neck or collar that you have saved in the goose sauce.
- Top up with veal stock and simmer gently for 2 (at least) to 4 hours .
Once the taste has developed sufficiently, you can pass the sauce through a fine sieve.
Then bring to the boil and reduce (boil down).
Now bring to the boil and thicken with cold cornstarch or with a freshly grated potato.
Season to taste and prepare for serving.
Mix the sauce with cold butter before serving and season again with salt and pepper if necessary.
For an even better overview I have additionally added a separate sauce for roast goose recipe here on the blog
Here the videos….
Prepare Goose Sauce:
Bind and Finalize Sauce:
6.7 Prepare and Serve the Roast Goose until it is Crispy
Finish the roast poultry and serve with side dishes :
- Cut the dumplings at an angle on a tray and keep them warm .
- Bring the red cabbage to the boil , drain the cabbage in a sieve.
- Boil the sauce and mix with ice-cold butter .
- Get the plates hot . The food is only served hot on hot plates!
- Heat the pieces of goose on the tray with the skin up under the grill until crispy.

Kind regards Thomas
Hi Thomas,
🙂 🙂
I used your goose recipe for my August goose.
The farmer next to our holiday home has already slaughtered the first geese.
Your instructions are absolutely perfect. I did a great job preparing it. The meat was juicy and the skin crispy.
The sauce, as shown, is great.
I even made the veal stock and the dumplings with the red cabbage. Fantastic **** BIG THANK YOU! by the S family
Hello Miss S,
Nice to read from you!
Thx for the excellent feedback.
I wish you continued success,
Greetings Chef Thomas
Dear Chef Thomas,
Great Blog and great Photos for perfect cooking 🙂
thank you very much for the incredibly detailed explanation!
This prevents many mistakes. C
could you please answer a little cooking question for me?
Does the lid come on the roaster or is the goose prepared open?
LG Colina
Hello Colina,
I am very pleased that your private message on Instagram has turned into a cooking question here on the food blog.
Thanks! Think it's nice if we collect knowledge here in the form of cooking questions and cooking answers for everyone.
Together it succeeds and then tastes… better and better!
Cooking Question: prepare goose with or without a lid?
Chef's answer: I always prepare the roast goose in a roasting pan without a lid.
Kind regards and continued success!
Feel free to contact us again with comments and questions about cooking!
Thomas
Hello Thomas,
Best recipe for roast goose 🙂
Thank you for your help! The sauce was perfect! The meat of the goose was a bit dry, I actually had better.
But that was either the fault of Biogans or myself! I made the goose in the low-cooking process in the steamer, at the beginning 1/2 hour at 338 degrees and then at 212 degrees for 5 hours.
After carving, as described, try to get crisp with the convection grill.
Anyway, I would like to rate the recipe and your service with 5 *****
I am very grateful for any help!
Andrea
Hello Andrea,
OMG 🙁
the poor goose!
I just described how it works up there, doesn't need steam or long-term treatment,
it's not a sweat lodge.. 🙁 Next time, 175°C (347°F) hot air for 90 minutes, then see where the goose is at…Greetings and all the best! Thomas
Hi Thomas,
Honestly, I let myself be talked into cooking the goose at a low temperature for so long.
Thank you very much for your very detailed and easy to understand answer!
I have never experienced that from a chef in this form!
The stars will be there after the roast goose on Sunday! But there really can't be any less than 5 stars.
Hello Andrea,
I liked doing that.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Good succeed!
Kind regards Thomas
Hello Thomas,
I chose your Christmas goose for this year's Christmas menu.
Since the menu is supposed to be for 6 people, I pre-ordered a fresh organic goose with 4.5 – 5 kg.
However, I have not found any info on how the cooking time varies depending on the size of the goose.
Can you give me information about this?
Sorry if it's already there somewhere and I missed it.
Kind regards, Melanie
Hello Melanie,
no Problem 🙂
thank you for your query, I look forward to your message!
Chefs 's answer to the cooking time of the goose per kg:
–> Calculate 40-50 minutes per kg of goose cooking time at 160-175°C (320-347°F)
Good luck and best regards Thomas
This is exactly the tip I was looking for. Thank you!
Hi Carles 🙂
Nice to read from you Thanks!
BR Thomas
Hello Thomas,
according to your recipe I would like to prepare a goose next weekend.
My question about your recipe: doesn't the goose get cold if it sits on a separate tray for hours?
With the grill function, only the crust gets warm and crispy.
It probably makes sense to use the convection grill function in the steamer.
And second question: Can I prepare the goose the day before so that I have enough time for the sauce for lunch?
Hello, dear Andrea,
thank you for your message, feedback and cooking question.
I'm happy 🙂 Chefs's answer to preparing the goose the day before and then serving it:
I would only recommend this variant if you have a large number of guests and if you want to prepare two or more geese.
Of course, this variant is also suitable for lunch if you don't want to get up early.
–> Prepare the geese the day before, let them cool down and release them.
–> Chill the pieces of goose
–> Cook the sauce from the roast residue and the bones
–> Finish the sauce, bind and chill.
–> On the day before eating: Heat the goose pieces for 20 minutes in hot air at 200°C (392°F)
–> Season the skin with salt and grill until crispy
–> A hot-air grill is an option, if available, then insert it in the middle and be careful!Prepare the answer for roast goose for lunch:
–> prepare all the side dishes the day before
–> fill the goose and chill –> put the goose in the oven at 6 a.m.
–> release the goose around 8:30 a.m.
–> sauce from 8:45 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. prepare, sieve, boil down
–> finally prepare the side dishes
–> finish the goose crispy, arrange and serve.Regarding the question: If the goose doesn't get cold…
I'll write you the final info:
The released goose cools down, I usually put a tray over it and leave the goose pieces at room temperature.
Then the crispy heating goes faster. The loss of quality is zero, which is how we have done it in star kitchens.Also, the goose is really fresh. Cooled (refrigerator) and then reheated goose does not taste quite as fresh.
So I would actually prepare the goose at lunchtime, put it in the oven early in the morning.
Then prepare coffee and breakfast for Ms. Sixt :-).
Thomas sends you best regards and great success
Hello,
can I use convection instead of hot air?
I only have convection or top/bottom heat or bottom heat with a grill at the top for poultry.
Love the recipe and would love to make it if it is at all possible.
LG Nathalie
Hello Nathalie,
hui, with your question I have to look it up in my list as far as the stove functions are concerned.
I found what you were looking for and leave you an info…
Convection:
The stove heats up and down, the fan distributes the heat, but has no heating function.
Hot air:
There is a heating ring in front of the fan, so hot air flows directly into the oven.
With circulating air, longer preheating of the oven is usually better, but not absolutely necessary with the goose.
You can also slowly make them sweat 🙂 Stay in the temperature range of 175°C (347°F) and give the roast goose some time.
Turning will not be necessary. My grandfather always turned the goose several times, for a long time he only had top and bottom heat.
–> Otherwise proceed as described and allow the roast goose to cool down (lukewarm) after preparation and remove.
–> Place the goose pieces with the skin side up on the oven tray for final heating.
–> Season with salt again before the final heating (this is guaranteed to make the skin crispy).
–> Then finish the goose pieces crispy at the grill setting with circulating air.
–> Be careful with the grill function and stay where you are. It's quick and side dishes and sauce should be ready by now!
–> I always portion or carve the pieces of goose shortly before serving, so that the interfaces do not become dry!I wish you good luck! Kind regards Thomas
Hello Thomas,
great instructions, better than on TV.
Goose worked out sensationally with side dishes and all the trimmings.
Greetings Peter
Hello Peter,
I am very pleased to hear from you.
Thanks very much! Keep enjoying it!
LG Thomas
Hi Thomas!
Nice Recipe and perfect guide 🙂
Real insider tip recipe and great instructions.
Videos are well made with on-board tools and everything is perfectly prepared step by step.
You have to come up with an idea like that – camera on your head as a chef, really brilliant.
The goose is crispy and the sauce delicious. Thank you for the many tips.
.-) Knutsen
Hello Knutsen,
great name 🙂 Thank you for your detailed and positive message.
That makes me happy when the roast goose has arrived on your table deliciously fine.
Too bad, couldn't be there 🙂 would have liked to help you and eat with you.
Kind regards,
Thomas
P.S. There is now an extra contribution to the goose sauce
Hello Thomas,
I made a note of your recipe from last year and have already "practiced" it for the Martin season.
The videos are really great, for me the best instructions ever.
I can watch the 9 cooking videos super on my TV and the Youtube app 🙂
Although it's been a year since the last Ganserl, everything worked perfectly with a little refresher.
Thank you and best regards Barbara
Hello Barbara,
of course I like to read feedback like this.
I'm happy if the festive roast is a success for you and send you greetings!
BR Thomas
Hello Thomas,
Great 🙂
A great description with very meaningful videos. Ordered a goose from the organic farmer and will try the recipe this weekend.
I have 3 questions and I would really appreciate an answer:
(1) Without much experience, I will certainly have difficulties in determining whether the goose is done. Can you also determine when the meat is perfect by measuring the temperature? Where would I have to measure and what temperature would be optimal?
(2) As an apple variety, I have something sour in mind for the filling, such as Boskop – is that what you would use as a professional chef?
(3) Since my 3 small children will also eat, I would replace the white wine in the red cabbage with vegetable broth – but you might have an even better tip for me in terms of taste.
Even if you don't come to answer my questions, I am very happy about this promising recipe and thank you very much for your great effort!
Pre-Christmas greetings, Robert
Hello Robert,
🙂
thank you very much for your cooking questions and the positive feedback.
I think I'm just in time to be in the kitchen with you. Here I whisper the cooking answers to you:
1. Cooking question, when is the goose ready cooked:
Please stick to the 170°-180°C (338-356°F) hot air and approx. 2-2.5 hours.
It simply depends on the oven, as each appliance heats differently.—> Pricking the breast with a thin skewer is the best way for me to check if the goose is done.
If clear juice escapes when you pierce, the goose is done.
If the juice is still red, please continue cooking. Note that the legs always take a little longer…2. Cooking question about the type of apple with the roast goose:
I like to use Elstar because Ms. Sixt particularly likes this type of apple, which is why we always have apples like this around.
Boskop is okay too, mugwort would be great, you can buy it now and again in the supermarket.3. Cooking question Preparing red cabbage without red wine:
We always had red cabbage with wine because the alcohol disappears during cooking.
In any case, I don't think the homeopathic vibration of wine did me any harm.
You could swap for balsamic vinegar or reduced grape juice or berry syrup, they taste delicious too.
Just watch out for the sweetness, less is definitely more here!—-> Balance the rest with broth, that's right, I would do the same.
Sending you the best regards from my kitchen, I'm about to finish cooking Boeuf bourguignon, that will come with a video next week… delicious… I promise!
Kind regards and good luck!
Thomas Sixt
Hi Thomas! Thanks for this service 🙂
This dish takes a really long time in the kitchen.
But every minute of it is worth it!
We wanted to cook something very special – and with this dish we really succeeded! 🙂
Great recipe, we can only recommend it!
Every effort is worth it!!
Hello Claudia,
thank you for the nice lines, that is of course absolutely correct! Kind regards,
Thomas Sixt
Dear Thomas, I made your roast goose over the weekend and you won't believe how excited the whole family was! Thank you for this super recipe! PS: I think it's great that you also respond to your readers and suggest a vegetarian recipe. 🙂 We enjoyed it the classic way, but that's definitely going to be on our meal plan soon! Just great, especially because my youngest is a vegetarian and usually only eats the delicious side dishes… Kind regards, the Windhorst family
Hello Natalie, thank you! Your lines made me very happy. Precisely because your youngest now has more joy! Kind regards, Thomas Sixt
Hello Thomas, I would like to try your recipe soon… but I really don't like red cabbage. Can you give an alternative recommendation? I would be interested to know what the chef has for other ideas 😉 I'm looking forward to your answer, LG Mario
Hello Mario, thanks for your cooking question 🙂 Alternative side dishes instead of red cabbage: Brussels sprouts , savoy cabbage , salsify vegetables, pumpkin in the oven . Best regards and good luck! Thomas Sixt
I would also like to leave a comment: I think your instruction videos are just great! Always fun. Thanks for that, dear Thomas!
Hello Nadja, thank you, I am very happy, best regards Thomas Sixt
Hello Thomas!
We just couldn't wait until Christmas to come up with this recipe!
It was a dream! That was the second time we've cooked your roast goose.
This time we really dared to create a complete menu.
There was kale soup first and baked apples for dessert.
The Christmas season has already been heralded for us!
😀 We always enjoy cooking with you, Thomas! Keep it up.
Merry Christmas, Mila
Hello Mila,
thank you for this nice message.
For all those reading along, here are the links to the kale soup
and the baked apple again.
Great Christmas menu idea 🙂
Kind regards and Thomas Sixt wishes you continued success
Hello Mr. Sixt,
on Sunday we had the festive goose, it was delicious and the instructions were excellent!
However, on a day with so much preparation, it's pretty stressful – not for a chef, of course!
Can you pre-cook the goose the day before or spread the cooking time over the day before?
Are there any tricks?
Please let me know! best regards Ulf Pusch
Hello Ulf,
thank you for your positive message and the cooking question about preparing the goose the day before…
I would rather prepare all the side dishes the day before and put the goose in the oven in the morning.
Fresh goose is better than warmed up 🙂
Kind regards, Thomas Sixt
The restaurant visit is cancelled, and thanks to Mr. Sixt there is still excellent cuisine. (Even if you are then responsible for how the goose tastes 😉 ) Thank you for bringing the culinary delights straight to our home!
Hi Back!
You're welcome, best regards Thomas Sixt
I hope a simple thank you is enough! Great recipe, great instructions.
Dear Viktoria,
short and positive comments make me very happy!
Kind regards and thank you Thomas Sixt
Hi Hi Thomas,
Sooooo crispy! So we really didn't expect that.
The recipe and all the instructions were just great.
We still rave about it to this day – and that certainly wasn't the last roast goose that we served this year.
Greetings Lukas and Britta
Hello Britta and Lukas,
🙂
thank you for the nice lines, I wish you both continued success!
Kind regards,
Thomas Sixt
Splendid! Thomas,
you really meet our taste. Also these many alternatives that you offer.
That's how everyone can be happy!
We tried the cranberry compote instead of the cranberries…we love roast goose but it stole the show from all the side dishes on the table.
So delicious. This will definitely become our side dish much more often with roasts.
In addition to roast venison and goose, can you recommend anything else that this super delicious compote goes well with? 🙂
Thank you and best regards
Hello Aleksandra,
thank you very much for your super tasty message.
How about a light and fine venison goulash in thyme stock
… Kind regards, Thomas Sixt
With you we will become real star chefs! 🙂
We would never have thought that such "difficult" recipes are actually not that difficult with the right instructions.
And then, thanks to your funny videos, you always have a smile on your face while cooking.
Fantastic! Thx Friedrich
Hello Friedrich,
thank you for your wonderful message.
Videos are now coming again, I'm preparing the classic Boeuf bourguignon.

Hi Thomas
Brilliant!! Recipe great to look and cook.
BR Robin
Thanks!
Hello Thomas,
our roast goose didn't look quite as nice as in your pictures and in your videos.
But it always tasted just as good.
And that's the main thing, isn't it?
Nice that you can inspire so many people for such classics!
5 stars for that, grin! Mechthild
Hi Back 🙂

Hello Thomas,
I discovered your instructions just in time for this year's marin goose season.
Instead of boring TV programs, I watched your cooking videos and learned a lot.
Thank you for the successful instructions, the many ideas from the kitchen and the tips for goose sauce and crispy goose.
Greetings from Heinz
Hello Heinz,
I am particularly pleased about such a message.
I wish you continued success!
Greetings Thomas Sixt
Hi Thomas,
🙂
your videos are great, I watched them today on the TV via the YouTube app.
Find the idea with the head camera is very successful.
The steps for preparing the goose help me to put the perfect whole on the plate on Saturday.
Greetings from Karl
Hello Karl,
thank you for the nice lines and the compliment on the cooking show.
I'm happy if the tips go down well and you bring a fine roast to the table.
Enjoy your meal! If something doesn't turn out so well for you, feel free to write to me,
I'll also answer cooking questions here!
Kind regards, Thomas Sixt
Hello chef Thomas Sixt,
this is Caro writing to you, 🙂 I really have a lot of cookbooks at home, there are about 300 of them.
I have not found such detailed and clear instructions in any cookbook.
I wonder why you don't have your own cooking show yet.
Anyway I've been a real fan of your site for two weeks and I like the videos.
So leave you a big compliment and I look forward to new suggestions from your kitchen.
Thanks Caroline
Hello Caro,
Nice to read from you 🙂
I am particularly pleased when a cookbook collector writes a comment.
I also collect, but two years ago I reduced my number to 150 books.
With a heavy heart I gave away books that I "don't need".
I'm still dreaming of digitizing the cookbooks because it's much more practical to search on the iPad and it's faster so there's more time to cook.
But the dear colleagues do a lot for the boiling fan base, you have to say.
If you're on TV 2-3 times a week, you don't have the time to write recipes.
Alfons' Bavarian cookbook is still on my shelf – there are real memories attached to it.
Goose and duck always tasted best at Alfons Schuhbeck's and that's where I learned how to cook sauce.
The one with the cooking television, I don't know either? Headcam Cooking was on Viennese city television for 3 years.
Also, I like this Youtube, the videos can stay there and help if people are looking for it.
—> My small contribution to good food! Thanks for your compliments and have fun browsing,
so let's not forget the roast in the oven, after all we want to put good food on the table!Kind regards, Thomas Sixt
Hi Thomas,
brilliant recipe, just right again right now.
Thanks for the detailed instructions!
Kind regards Bert
Hello Bert, I'm happy, I wish you the best of luck! Greetings Thomas Sixt
Hi Thomas,
great cooking service 🙂
your goose sauce was delicious.
I cooked the sauce and goose your way for the first time yesterday on Saturday.
Everything worked great, thanks for the instructions and the video.
How would you make the sauce sweeter? Thanks! Ruth
Hello Ruth,
🙂
I am very pleased to hear from you.
Straight to your cooking question:
You can carefully refine the sauce with
—> Cranberry compote ,
—> Quince jelly ,
cowberries or
—> Red currant jam.
🙂
Thomas from the kitchen sends you lots of love and good luck!
Hello Thomas,
great 🙂
thank you for answering my cooking question, this is great.
Kind regards Ruth
Hello Ruth,

Hey Thomas,
Thanks for the opportunities you provide here and the excellent cooking instructions.
last Friday we decided to make a roast goose.
We found your website in the afternoon and think the content is great.
Cooked the goose with side dishes exactly according to your recipe and the cooking videos, it was just good.
The sauce is really a dream.

I wish you every success and wish you continued success in the kitchen and at the table together!
Greetings Thomas Sixt
Hi Thomas,
thank you for the detailed instructions.
Especially your tips on goose sauce helped me a lot. Boiling the bones conjured up an incredibly fine sauce on our plate.
The goose was also super crispy, which means that in the next round the goose is cut up again in the morning and then goes onto the baking sheet according to your instructions.
Thank you very much Greetings Helm
Hello Helm,
🙂 NICE 🙂

Hello Thomas,
thanks for your great recipe and the detailed description with 9 cooking videos.
I have already cooked my goose twice according to your instructions.
It was really super easy and absolutely sure to succeed every time!
On Friday I will go into the kitchen a third time and am already looking forward to the end result.
Today I also found mugwort in the supermarket and this year it is preferred for the filling.
Kind regards Gerhard
