    Mix marjoram, apples and chestnuts. Season with salt, pepper and orange juice. Stuff the goose with it. Close neck and belly opening with wooden skewers and tie up with kitchen string. Rub the goose with salt on the outside. Tie legs and wings with kitchen string. Put the goose with the breast side down in a fat pan of the oven. Pour on 1/4 litre of water. Roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ circulating air: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 3-3 1/2 hours. In between, skim fat from the fat pan. Halfway through the roasting time, turn the goose, add 1/8 litre of water and scoop up the roast stock during roasting. Peel onions and cut into pieces. Distribute onions, offal and neck around the goose 1 hour before the end of the cooking time. Remove the goose about 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Pour goose stock into the fat pan.
