Chicken thighs - per person?

At least two.

I always use chicken thighs - 2 per adult.
Yesterday went to Tesco…..no thighs, only drumsticks left.

Depends on size, some are huge, but greedy piggies in our house and we’d go for two each.

So I’m the weird one, then. But over the past few years I’ve been trying to cut down the meat intake - unless it’s a roast, in which case it’s a case of 🐷🐷.
But we do eat considerably more veg than we used to - green veg will typically take up almost half the plate. Talking of which, the other day in Sainsbury’s I found a massive bag of frozen green (French) beans - for £1.07!!

No prizes for guessing what we’ll be having with the chicken and potatoes tonight…

I work on 2 each. I buy mine from the butcher but I have noticed that Waitrose thighs are much bigger and, if I've had to buy those, I would probably do 3 between 2. The meat is much meatier.

At least 2 each

Mine were from Waitrose - higher welfare, slower growing - maybe that accounts for it.

We’re having those tonight in bbq sauce, two each.

I think one is ample if you’re having it with vegetables and potatoes or rice. It then leaves room for a nice dessert 😁

My 7 and 10 year old grandson polish off two or more each when I give them homemade chicken nuggets

Older ladies will eat less, men more it all depends what else you are offering but if you offer 2 each there will be plenty and use the rest up next day.

At least two, and if they aren’t large then three.

I am with Witzend I serve up one each, from Waitrose, if I am feeling generous I wrap them in bacon! We do eat loads of vegetables.

I often put them in a tray bake with all sorts of vegetables such as mushrooms, leeks, red onions, chopped up sweet potato, ordinary potato, peppers, courgettes and tomatoes. We find one each is ample.

I think if in doubt of how many to serve, it’s fine to just have one if that’s what suits you but for guests err on the generous side.
I have been served with one at a friend’s house and was as hungry afterwards as I had been before, and it sure wasn’t down to lack of money on her part, just not being very thoughtful.

I’d have two.

I do 2 each & I have about 1 & a half & give the extra chicken to DH, who would be saying a minimum of 3 each of he was on here.
They do vary in a lot size & probably the slower growing ones will be bigger.

My SiL was cooking us a vegetable curry over the Christmas period. Eighteen year old grandson who doesn’t like vegetables (!) requested chicken and so I bought a packet of four thighs and left it with SiL expecting him to take out one or two ( he was having it with rice). He cooked all 4 and grandson was quite happy to eat all four: two for dinner and two for tea. So yes, although not eating it myself, I would allow two for everyone. They do seem rather large though.

I buy a pack of 4 for the 2 of us. I cook them all and see how we go. Anything left goes in sandwiches the next day!

I’ll be having two tonight, same as my husband and son!

Bear in mind that in the UK, two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese. Perhaps portion size is not something that we get right every time..? I would have said two bone-in thighs per person but before Christmas I bought some boneless ones from Waitrose that were enormous - one would have been plenty.

OK, as a vegetarian I may not be the best judge (the Waitrose ones were not for me but for my carnivorous family).

Oh dear, I only serve one thigh per person. We do eat a lot of vegetables though.

Although I should 😁

Reminder to self, put them on the list for Waitrose this week.
