How many servings of chicken in one chicken?

Here are some common ways to think about it:

* USDA guidelines: The USDA considers a 3-ounce serving of cooked chicken to be a serving.

* Individual needs: A serving size varies depending on age, activity level, and dietary goals. A large, active person might need more than a 3-ounce serving, while a smaller, less active person might be satisfied with less.

* Recipe considerations: If you're making a whole roasted chicken, the number of servings will depend on the size of the chicken and how much you plan to serve per person.

To give you a rough idea:

* A 3-4 pound chicken: Yields about 6-8 servings

* A 5-6 pound chicken: Yields about 8-10 servings

It's always best to adjust the number of servings based on your specific needs and preferences.
