Hey y'all -
Wanting to do some meat for around 100-150 people for a housewarming party. Preparing for 150 just in case.
I will be doing pulled chicken and pulled pork. My thought is that if each guest eats 1/3 lb of meat I will need about 50 lbs of meat total. I have quite a bit of experience doing Pork butt and feel pretty confident that about 50 lbs (uncooked) will be plenty for that half of the meat (25 lbs). The pulled chicken I have no experience with. So, assuming that I am doing bone in and skin on chickend thighs for pulled chicken (per Jeff's recipe), how many lbs of thighs do you think would be needed (precooked weight) to yield about 25 lbs of pulled chicken? From some priliminary research I've done, I'm thinking around 40 lbs should get me there.
Let me know any thoughts you have. Thanks! Really appreciate it!
