How many pounds of chicken needed to feed 6 people?

It's impossible to say exactly how many pounds of chicken you need for 6 people without more information! Here's why:

* Appetite: Some people eat more than others.

* Side Dishes: If you're serving lots of other food, you'll need less chicken.

* Chicken Type: Are you serving boneless, skinless breasts, thighs, or whole chickens? Different cuts have different yields.

Here's a general guideline:

* Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: Plan for about 1/2 pound per person.

* Chicken Thighs: Plan for about 3/4 pound per person.

* Whole Chicken: Plan for about 1 pound per person.

To get a more accurate estimate:

* Consider your guests' appetites. If they're known for big appetites, you may want to increase the amount slightly.

* Think about the rest of the meal. Are you serving lots of sides? If so, you can reduce the chicken amount.

Example:

If you're serving boneless, skinless chicken breasts as the main course and your guests have average appetites, you'd need about 3 pounds of chicken (1/2 pound per person x 6 people = 3 pounds).
