How to cook a goose

I find myself in possession of a frozen Canada goose. I've never cooked a goose before. Does anyone have any tips? Can I roast it or cook it in the crockpot like I would a chicken?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Once I'm home I'll get you some more ideas if you'd like.
Thanks for the link! If you have any other words of wisdom to impart, I'm all ears!
I found her basic method online!

I have to say, I am really jealous of all the goose fat you'll have left over! Mmm, potatoes cooked in goose fat! Also, pie crust made with it (you could make a goose pot pie if you have any left over). And confit, glorious confit. Heck, you could separate the breasts, and trim all the fat and render it, then cook the breasts, save the fat from that, and confit the legs and everything else.
Welp, it's a-huntin season round here and I got me some huntin friends.
(I'm not even joking. My friend has a freezer full of Canada geese. One can be yours for $5!)
Thanks!

Season it and then Roast it on a rack so the fat drains off like you do a turkey.....
Do not stuff unless you are using aromatics for flavoring.
It turned out fantastic. I followed Kafka's recipe, except that the goose was done after the first hour roasting. There wasn't as much fat as I thought, probably because it was a wild Canada goose and not a fattened up domestic goose.
It was so yummy! I started with a salad, then the goose with ridiculously buttery roasted garlic mashed potatoes, steamed carrots and broccoli, and crusty bread, and then blueberry pie for dessert (that you can also see in the photo).
Anyway, thanks Saria! Now I want to get another goose...
