Alright, all you party planners...help me figure this out

We are having a picnic at a local park.  I wanted to get some trays or chicken from Giant Eagle instead of grilling.  I am terrible at figuring out how much I will need.  There will be 17 adults and 12 kids (9 of those kids are under age 5).   We will have about 5 different sides plus desserts.  Do you figure 2 pieces per adult? Help me please!
 

Re: Alright, all you party planners...help me figure this out

  • I would say 2 piece per adult and maybe do chicken fingers for the kids (3 pieces each).

    So at least 34 pieces of chicken if you are doing breast, thighs, legs. if you are only doing thighs and legs 3 a piece since they are smaller. I would probably round up to 40.

    I would then do 36 chicken fingers and probably round up to 40.

    Thank you, you are awesome!  Chicken fingers for the kids is a great idea, I didn't even think of doing that. 

     

     

     
  • You could even do Chicken fingers for all...then I would do 3 per kid and 4 per adult, rounding up. 

    But I always have way too much food!
