How Many Wings for 120 People?

Plan 6 wings per person when they're an appetizer alongside other food, and 10–12 when wings are the main event. A pound of party wings is roughly 9 pieces.

Two sauces minimum — one hot, one not. About a third of every crowd won't touch buffalo sauce.

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.
