How many people will 40 lbs of chicken wings feed?
It's tough to give an exact number, as appetite varies greatly! Here's a breakdown to help you estimate:
Factors affecting wing count:
* Wing size: Wings come in different sizes, so a 40 lb bag could contain more or fewer wings.
* Appetite: Some people eat just a few wings, while others can devour a dozen!
* Other food: Are you serving wings as the main course or as an appetizer?
General Estimates:
* As a main course: 40 lbs of chicken wings could feed 15-25 people with a good amount of wings each.
* As an appetizer: 40 lbs of chicken wings could feed 30-50 people with a smaller portion of wings per person.
To be safe:
* Assume a conservative estimate: Go with the lower end of the ranges.
* Buy extra: You can always freeze leftover wings.
Pro tip: Check the wing packaging. Some suppliers will indicate how many wings are in a bag, which can help you with your calculations.
