Planning 2 of the 4 entrees for friends wedding. Need to get idea of how many lbs of chicken strips & meatballs to get. The other entrees are pulled pork & another BBQ item (cannot remember for sure) plus potato salad, beans, rolls. Bride says planning on 80 I believe. How many lbs of chicken strips should I get considering there are other entrees available? I am also making the meatballs...the recipe I have is for about 3 lbs of meat but makes a lot for my smaller parties...so wasn't sure again how much to make considering not the only entree or does that even matter?

complicated not knowing the type sides or amounts of the other entrees, or what the meatballs are served with (rice? pasta?) If you start with 1 pound raw tenders per 4 plus 1 pound meatballs per 506 you will have plenty. 10 pounds meatballs takes 3 quarts sauce.
