Ellen, your help was so appreciated in planning our St. Patrick's Day Fundraiser and it went so well we are planning another event. This time we are planning a BBQ for 200 people. I have a recipe for oven-fried BBQ chicken (using legs, thighs and breasts only) that I was hoping to prepare in our Nesco roasters. (140# chicken) Or do you think pulled pork sandwiches is better to do for buffet? Along with the entree, we are planning 6-7 gallons of baked beans, 10 gallons of potato salad, pasta salad using 12# dry pasta, 6 gallons cole slaw. For dessert, ice cream sundae bar ( using your site idea). Please tell me your thoughts. Thank You! |

Either the chicken or the pork is fine, but that is a LOT of chicken with all the meaty pieces. You would need about 6 roasters... I would do 2 pieces per person and if the breast pieces are large, bone in, I would split them. Everything else is plenty. with 200 you may even have some left. |

Thank you for such a quick response! I really don't want any or very little left over, where and how much do you think I should cut back? |

6-7 gallons of baked beans, 6 10 gallons of potato salad, 9 pasta salad using 12# dry pasta, 8 pound 6 gallons cole slaw. OK, 5 might do Have servers using scoops at the tables for the first round, and then the reduced amounts would be plenty |

Thanks! I forgot to mention that I am also making a hot side- roasted potato, corn, green & red pepper, onion medley. Was planning 6- (13x9) size chafing dishes. Should I decrease your previous posts amounts by 25%? |

25% is probably too much. 10 is safe. |
