How many pounds of chicken tenders needed to feed 100 people?

Answer 1

Restaurant manager/catering manager/Boy Scout Leader/Softball Dad experience here.

The rule of thumb is 5-7 lbs per 10 people.

All ladies less than 5, all Men 7

Sports or heavy active before add 1 pound

Teen Boys or Sports Girls add 1 plus another possible 1 if after a game or activity

Call a grocery store manager. I have found prices are 1/2 price as compared to some restaurants and they will usually give you a break if with a non-profit org.

At our local grocery store 10 Lbs or 60 tenders runs me $35 and that is without a discount.

Grocery Store is $0.58/tender

Chick-Fil-A is 75 tenders for $70 is $1.07/tender

Zaxby's is $0.75/tender

Local restaurant is $1.50 tender ???

Answer 2

That depends on how many tenders each person eats. You either have to assume an amount or ask them individually. Dumby

Answer 3

Depends on how much meat you want each person to have. I would allow 4 oz each, meaning i would use 100 pounds for 400 people.

Answer 4

I would use 100 pounds

Answer 5

30lbs

Answer 6

Whoever said you need to ask them ..... needs to learn how to spell dummy before they call someone a dummy. It is not spelled Dumby!!!!!
