10 each
A general rule of thumb is about 4-6 chicken wings per person as an appetizer. So, for fifteen people, you would need approximately 60-90 chicken wings to feed everyone.
The amount of wings needed for 60 people on a buffet will depend on how many wings each person can eat. If each person ate 6 wings, you would need 360 wings for the buffet.
20 Lbs of chicken wings will feed 50 people
I guess asking how many pounds is a bit hard to figure out, but since chicken wings are kind of small, I would recomend three chicken wings per person. That would mean, 30 chicken wings. However, if their larger, I would recomend 1 or 2 per person. --- If you are talking about chicken wings for Buffalo Wings, then 3 chicken wings per person will not be nearly enough. you would need on the average 10 per person. I have never seen anyone eat just 3 hot wings....
If you are holding a get together, you should consider having about 8 to 10 wings per person. If you need to feed 75 people, you should have around 600 to 750 wings.
The average chicken of about 4 pounds to 5 pounds would be enough meat to feed a group of 5 people. The size of chicken needed would depend on the amount of food 5 people could eat in a meal.
Are there side dishes? If all you are eating is chicken, each person may want three pieces, so you will need 90 pieces. But if there are side dishes then one piece per person should suffice. A chicken has a back, two legs, two wings, two breasts, and sometimes the wishbone is cut out separate from the breast, making about seven pieces per bird. Five chickens gives you 35 pieces, so you might have some leftovers. If chicken is all that is on the menu, you might want to butcher about ten birds.
As an appetizer, side or "co-entree", figure 1/4 lb per person. As a main course/entree with other sides, figure 1/2 lb per person. If it's the only thing you will serve as a meal, figure 1 lb per person.
~53% is edible meat - after subtracting skin, bones, fat, water....
Four boned and skinned chicken thighs would generally weigh 1.5 pounds and you would want to allow for about 2 thighs per person. So, for 50 people, you would need about 19 lbs. of chicken thigh in total.
One chicken for 3 people = 183 chickens.
