WR: Rehearsal Dinner Menu

[Deleted]

Hi Everyone,

We are doing Ezell's chicken for our rehearsal dinner. Right now on my estimate I have 2 pcs of chicken and about 3 chicken strips per person in addition to rolls, corn and potato salad (8lbs of each side for 30 people)  Do you think this is enough food? Too much?

What would you recommend?

We ordered from there for our day after BBQ. I can look up what we ordered, we had tons leftover.

For 80 people we ordered 2 pounds of chicken fingers, 40 breasts, 40 thighs, 55 legsand 45 wings.  We easily had over 40 pieces of chicken left over.  We ended up orderig sides from QFC as we wanted more options.

oh my gosh that sounds amazing. I'm terrible at estimating food so I'm not going to provide input on that...

Their normal chicken is better than the spicy, imo. The spicy is way too salty.

Salad or veggies? I might be weird but I so not like American potato salad (Germans for the win)

It looks good to me, as long as all the guests eat chicken

Honestly I could never eat 2 pieces of chicken + 3 chicken strips + rolls + corn + potato salad. That is so much food. I'd maybe cut the potato salad, sub a slightly healthier option, and scale it down to like, 2 pieces of chicken and 2 chicken strips? How big are these chicken strips? And what types of pieces of chicken are we talking about? I wouldn't eat more than a breast but would probably eat two drumsticks, KWIM? So that would determine how much food to order as well.

I know for the chicken, its an an assortment. And I agree, maybe I will cut the sides to 5lbs each (they say a lb of side serves 4 people.) and switch the corn for coleslaw (my crowd like potato salad). The chicken strips themselves are fairly average size (3-4 inches long). I might cut the strips down to 6 lbs or so. I am just so afraid of running OUT of food!

Can I have dinner with y'all? That sounds so yummy!

I want all of that for lunch. I feel like its a good amount of food. I'm big on making sure there is enough versus not enough.
