Ingredients
To make Smoked Citrus Goose Breast, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 goose breasts
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup lime juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Wood chips for smoking (preferably apple or cherry)
Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s follow these steps to prepare this scrumptious dish:
- Start by preparing the marinade. In a bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Place the goose breasts in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight for best flavor.
- After marinating, remove the goose breasts from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure to soak your wood chips in water for about 30 minutes before using them.
- Once the smoker is ready and the wood chips are soaked, place the goose breasts on the grill grates. Smoke them at a temperature of 225°F (107°C) for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Once smoked, remove the goose breasts from the smoker and let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve your Smoked Citrus Goose Breast with your favorite sides and enjoy the incredible flavors!
