I need to make 400 chicken salad sandwiches. How much chicken will I need?

1 pound bone in chicken makes about 1 cup meat, 1 pound boneless skinless makes about 2 cups. Most chicken salads are half chicken, the rest celery, parsley, mayo and add-ins.

It takes 1/4 to 1/3 cup to make the sandwich, depends on how fat it will be, so you are looking at 50-65 cups of chicken meat.

If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a nickel per guest, to support this site. Thank you.
