When chicken is served as part of a multi entree meal, I allow just 1 piece per person, which is 8-9 people per 3 pound chicken (depends how you cut the chicken).

PLUS 2 pounds raw boneless beef for each 5 people PLUS look at the turkey yield table and end up with 3 ounces cooked ready to eat per person.

Everything else is covered in the plan for 100 tables. If you post an estimate, I will check it for you.
