If you have a choice, give preference to unpackaged poultry. a poor-quality product may be hidden under the sealed vacuum film. In addition, you can inspect such a bird and make sure of its good quality, namely:
- Take the bird in your hands and feel its ribcage, you can bend it slightly. In a young individual, bones are soft and fragile. This bird will be the most delicious.
- Look at the claws. In a young duck they are even and parallel, in an old duck they "look" in different directions, hard and durable.
- Another clear sign of old age is wrinkles. An elderly bird has many folds above its beak, which means that the fewer of them, the younger the waterfowl.
