I've done this show several times now, and there has never been leftover chicken.
For a family of four, we recommend using about 1.5 to 2 pounds of chicken for a meal. This will provide enough protein for each person and allow for leftovers if desired.
Yes, you can use any type of chicken for Cyw. We recommend using boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a healthier option, but you can also use bone-in chicken or chicken thighs for added flavor.
One pound of chicken typically provides 2-3 servings, depending on the size of the chicken and the serving size. If you are serving larger portions, you may only get 2 servings per pound.
The best way to ensure the chicken is fully cooked is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F for chicken to be considered safe to eat. You can also cut into the chicken to check for any pinkness or use a digital thermometer.
Yes, you can freeze leftover chicken from Cyw. Make sure to store it in an airtight container or freezer bag and label it with the date. It can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave.
