How many ounces of cooked chicken meat will average 1 pound meat?

This is a bit of a tricky question because the amount of cooked chicken meat that equals 1 pound of raw chicken will vary depending on how much moisture is lost during cooking.

Here's a general estimate:

* You can expect to lose about 25% of the weight of chicken when you cook it. This means that 1 pound of raw chicken will likely yield about 12 ounces of cooked chicken.

However, this is just a rough estimate. Here's why it can vary:

* Cooking method: Roasting, grilling, or baking will result in different moisture loss than boiling or steaming.

* Type of chicken: Chicken breasts lose more moisture than chicken thighs.

* Cooking time and temperature: Overcooking can lead to more moisture loss.

If you need a precise amount, it's best to weigh the cooked chicken.
