There really isn't an easy way to figure the exact amount of bone in a chicken, because every chicken is a little bit different. However, a general rule of thumb is that when you cut up a whole chicken, there is going to be approximately 40% of the chicken for refuse (that is, portions that cannot be directly eaten). You can use those portions - for example, drumstick bones and rib bones, etc - for chicken stock and flavoring, but they cannot be directly digested.

So, by this theory, one pound of bone-in chicken would equal 0.6 pounds (approx. 9.5 oz, or 272g). However, this is not an exact science. And if you are following a recipe that uses bone-in chicken, also keep in mind that bone-in chicken has a longer cooking time, so you will have to adjust your recipe accordingly, otherwise you'll overcook your chicken and it might be tough and dry.

How much boneless chicken meat will it take to equal a whole chicken cooked and deboned?

The amount of boneless chicken meat equivalent to a whole cooked and deboned chicken typically varies based on the size of the chicken, but a general estimate is that a whole chicken yields about 60-70% of its weight in boneless meat after cooking and deboning. For example, if you have a 4-pound whole chicken, you can expect to get around 2.4 to 2.8 pounds of boneless chicken meat. Therefore, if you need the same amount of meat, you would use approximately 2.5 to 3 pounds of boneless chicken.
