Are there side dishes? If all you are eating is chicken, each person may want three pieces, so you will need 90 pieces. But if there are side dishes then one piece per person should suffice. A chicken has a back, two legs, two wings, two breasts, and sometimes the wishbone is cut out separate from the breast, making about seven pieces per bird. Five chickens gives you 35 pieces, so you might have some leftovers.
If chicken is all that is on the menu, you might want to butcher about ten birds.
While chicken wings is kind of odd for a ladies luncheon. You can actually buy boneless, skinless breast cheaper than wings. Chicken wings have become one of the most expensive cuts of chicken on the market. That being said, you will need 7 to 10 wings per person unless the wings are to be only and appetizer. As an appetizer you will need 3 or 4 wings per person.
3 wings per person (appetizer) = 90
7 wings per person = 210
10 wings per person= 300
Remember to buy a few extra in case of accidental wastage.
You should be prepared to serve a pound of chicken wings per guest. This means you should have 50 pounds of chicken wings to feed 50 people.
Around 10pounds of chicken meat will feed 30 people. A 5 pound roaster will feed 4, a 1-1/2 lb. fryer will feed 2. So 8 roasters or 15 fryers to feed 30.
About 90 pounds!
20 pounds of shredded chicken will serve approximately 60 people. The amount of chicken needed is very much dependent upon how it is served.
One chicken for 3 people = 183 chickens.

The number of cans of chicken to make shredded chicken sandwiches for 100 people will depend on the size. Ideally, you would need about 6 cans each with 48 ounces of shredded chicken for the sandwiches.
