1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a large frying pan and lightly brown goose legs and thighs on both sides.
2. Place the browned goose in a slow cooker and add chicken broth to cover. Cook on high 6-8 hours until meat is tender. Small Arctic geese take about 4-6 hours, where a big honker will take up to 8 hours.
3. Remove goose from the slow cooker, and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Handle the legs carefully, so the meat doesn’t fall off the bones. The cooling process helps the meat set up so the leg bone can be used as a handle when eating.
4. Season each leg and thigh with your favourite seasoning, rub, spice mixture or sauce.
5. Place seasoned goose on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake in your preheated oven for 10 minutes to rewarm and allow flavors to work into the meat. A barbecue or smoke grill are great options too.
6. Serve legs and thighs with your favourite accompaniments you’d use for chicken wings.
