How many chicken strips to feed forty people?

It's impossible to give you an exact number without more information! Here's why, and how to figure it out:

Factors to Consider:

* Appetite: Are your guests big eaters or light snackers?

* Other Food: Are chicken strips the main course, or part of a larger buffet?

* Age: Kids will likely eat less than adults.

* Chicken Strip Size: Are these small, bite-sized strips or larger, more substantial ones?

General Guidelines:

* Main Course: Plan for 3-5 chicken strips per person if it's the main dish.

* Appetizer: 2-3 strips per person if it's part of a larger spread.

Calculation:

Let's say you're serving chicken strips as the main course, and you think most guests will eat about 4 strips. Here's how to figure it out:

* 40 people x 4 chicken strips/person = 160 chicken strips

Always better to have extra!

It's always better to err on the side of caution and have a little extra. It's better to have leftovers than to run out!
