Chef's tips
Soak the goose breast cubes in milk or buttermilk beforehand to soften any strong gamey flavor before breading.
Storage
Refrigerate leftovers up to 2 days.
Reheating
Reheat in a 375°F oven for 8-10 minutes to keep the coating crisp.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Overcooking the lean goose meat until it turns tough
- •Skipping the soak, which leaves behind a strong gamey flavor
