Always store poultry in airtight packaging or tightly wrapped in plastic or foil.

If you want to preserve poultry for a longer period, freezing is an excellent method.
For raw poultry, store it in a vacuum-sealed bag or heavy-duty freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. It can be kept in the freezer for up to 1 year.
For cooked poultry, wrap it tightly in foil or place it in freezer-safe containers. It can last up to 4 months in the freezer.

Poultry can be preserved by canning, where it is pressure-cooked and sealed in jars.
This method requires a pressure canner and specific instructions for time and temperature.
Canned poultry can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.

The process involves exposing the poultry to smoke from burning wood, which also imparts a distinct flavor.
