How many pounds of chicken do you need to put in stir fry feed 10?

It's impossible to give an exact number for how much chicken you need for stir fry without knowing more about your recipe and the appetites of your guests!

Here's a breakdown to help you figure it out:

Factors to Consider:

* Chicken Size: Are you using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thighs, or a mix? The size of the chicken pieces will influence how much you need.

* Other Ingredients: Will your stir fry be mostly vegetables, or will the chicken be a more substantial component?

* Appetites: Are your guests big eaters?

* Serving Size: How much stir fry do you typically serve per person?

General Guidelines:

* Small Serving: 3-4 ounces of cooked chicken per person

* Moderate Serving: 5-6 ounces of cooked chicken per person

* Large Serving: 7-8 ounces of cooked chicken per person

Example:

Let's say you want a moderate serving with 5 ounces of cooked chicken per person. You'll need:

* 5 ounces per person x 10 people = 50 ounces of cooked chicken

* Assuming a 20% loss in weight during cooking (this can vary!), you'll need about 62.5 ounces of raw chicken.

* There are 16 ounces in a pound, so you would need approximately 4 pounds of raw chicken.

Recommendation:

It's always better to err on the side of having too much chicken rather than too little. You can always save leftovers!
