6. Now place the goose on a baking sheet and coat its surface with a thin layer of mayonnaise. The baking process takes some time. Put the goose in an oven preheated to 190 degrees for one hour. As soon as it starts developing a golden-brown crust, cover it with foil and return to the oven for another hour. You can also bake it in foil from the very beginning, but to achieve a golden crust, remove the foil half an hour before it's done.
