momofkhm Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm lazy and am serving rotisserie chicken tonight for company. There will be 6 adults, 2 teens, 2 tweens, and 3 children 8 and under. For 2 pieces of chicken each, I need 4 chickens. (Well, I really only need 3 1/4 but I have to buy the whole chicken ya know.) Does 4 chickens for 13 people sound like enough? There will be potatoes (9x13 pan probably), apple cranberry bake (9x13 pan), veggies plus dessert. Does that sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 My family of 8 normally eats 2 at a time, but my kids are young... I think I would get 5 chickens, just to be sure. You can always use the leftovers for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 yeah, I would get an extra to be safe...you may have a lot of people who prefer white meat or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofkhm Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 That's what I was looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 It's probably not enough for a hungry group unless you have a lot of other food to serve. Our family (7 people) devours 2 chickens, leaving nothing remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'd get eight...those store-bought birds tend to be small!!!! (yet tasty!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 I had to go to 2 different stores and cleaned them both out! I had enough breasts left for 3 whole chickens. But just bits and pieces of dark meat. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
