What weight is a portion of chicken?
There's no single answer to "what weight is a portion of chicken?" because it depends on a few factors:
* Who is eating it? A portion for an adult will be larger than a portion for a child.
* What is it being served with? If chicken is the main course, you'll likely need more than if it's a side dish.
* What's the recipe? Some recipes call for specific weights per serving.
Here are some common guidelines for portion sizes:
* Breast: 4-6 oz (113-170 g) per serving
* Leg/Thigh: 4-6 oz (113-170 g) per serving
* Wing: 3-4 oz (85-113 g) per serving
For general guidance, here are some common "per person" amounts:
* Boneless skinless breast: 1/2 breast
* Leg/Thigh: 1 leg/thigh
* Wings: 2-3 wings
Ultimately, the best way to determine the right portion size is to consider the individual needs and preferences of your diners.
