Defrost time

[Hosenbugler]

I have a small goose in my freezer , weighing in at 4.6 kilo's. Its earmarked for dinner on Sunday for a family occasion.

Is there a rough calculation as to how long it will take to defrost in the fridge? It will be removed from its packaging and the cavity emptied. I''m thinking midday Friday should be ok, what do others think?

Thanks for the input all. I'm taking the goose out the freezer and into the fridge later today, just to be on the safe side.

If there is no goose ready for cooking on Sunday, I shall be the one getting roasted!

As an update, Goose was fecking great, several of the diners had not had goose before , they loved it!

I did a stock from the giblets, a Delia Smith recipe , top hit as well, made a gorgeous gravy.

Mass stampede to get extra crispy skin , so yep, 100% . Brilliant when things turn out well
