How many ounces of chicken in a cup?

You can't directly convert ounces of chicken to cups because it depends on how the chicken is prepared.

Here's why:

* Chicken Density: Chicken meat has different densities depending on how it's cut and cooked. Boneless, skinless chicken breast will be denser than chicken thighs or drumsticks with bone.

* Cooking Method: Grilling, baking, or frying can affect the weight and volume of the chicken.

Instead of a direct conversion, think about these things:

* Type of Chicken: Are you using breasts, thighs, or drumsticks?

* How It's Cut: Is it boneless, skinless, or with bone?

* Cooking Method: This will affect the final weight and volume.

General Guide:

* Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast: Approximately 4 ounces per cup (cooked)

* Chicken Thighs or Drumsticks: Approximately 3 ounces per cup (cooked)

The best way to determine the ounces of chicken in a cup is to weigh it yourself after cooking.
