I use 6 to 7 pounds of rice for 100, so I would probably use a recipe with 1 1/2 pounds of raw rice. Rice is cheap!

I is better made with whole chickens- you would want 4 5 pound roasters or 3 6 1/2 pound roasters, cut in 8 pieces. I will see if I can dig up the recipe for you.

For the rice, check out the many rice and pilaf recipes on this website- up to you.
