How Much Fried Chicken for 10 People?

Plan 3 pieces of fried chicken per person when it's the main, 2 when it shares the table with another protein. Mixed cuts stretch further than all-breast orders.

Ordering from a chicken chain? Their '8-piece feeds 4' math assumes sides — match their serving assumptions to yours.

Adjusting for your crowd: kids eat about two-thirds of adult portions; knock 25% off any single item when several mains share the table; add 25% for teenagers and big appetites. When in doubt, round up on the cheap items (buns, chips, ice) and stay exact on the expensive ones.
