Chicken thighs - per person?

readsalot

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

Yes, I'm veggie too and would only give my husabnd one... maybe I should give him more

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

Would you feel the same if it was your son in law wanting a third child and not your daughter?

Sorry, wrong thread!!

If we could find a chicken with 6 legs, I'd cook dinner for us.

2 each, especially when wrapped in bacon. DH could eat 3 if they are not wrapped or stuffed. Everyone has different appetites though.

No definite answer.

It seems our non-vegan family each eat one or two.

I count on one and a half per person. Works well.

Tesco sell a 1kg pack of thighs. I have had between 5 and 8 thighs. They vary so much in size.

I usually assess the weight of each thigh eg 1 kilo pack with 8 thighs I'd average at 125 grms each (think 150/200 grms is about the recommended amount) and if serving a hearty appetite I'd go for two otherwise I'd have one for myself.

Chicken thighs are usually fairly small 2/3 I would say....

Never buy them - IMHO a waste of money. I buy breast, or a whole chicken for multiple meals. Either can be portioned up, and a chopped small breast is quite a feast compared with thighs

I only have one but my husband has two. I do have a huge amount of vegetables though!

3 each for the men in my house, my big, hard working partner and my 6' 19 year old son. I've had weight loss surgery, so 1 or 2 for me but nothing else with it.

I'd also say two decent sized ones each, but if you buy them in a pack there's often a mix of sizes which makes it more difficult.

Depends on size of chicken thighs. My SiL served us one chicken thigh each for dinner when we stayed with her. I was shocked! Have always bought a whole chicken but decided to try chicken thighs and found them to be very meaty and versatile so buy them regularly now.

I agree with FranP that a whole chicken is better value, but I actually don't much like white meat so would always buy thighs unless I'm roasting the bird.

Either you are buying enormous HENS, not chickens or you have a very small appetite.

I would never serve two chicken drumsticks per person, but perhaps you are talking about the drumstick and the joint above it. If you are, then two per person might just do.

However, if you meant the drumstick, I would cook four for each person - if they are not all eaten, the remaining ones can be used the following day, or given to the cats.

This post reminds me of my late repected maternal aunt, who was convinced that two small potatoes were sufficient for everyone sitting round her table. I personally have never, except in her house, made do with only two potatoes!

I have1..my sons have 2 each..so does my husband..Some men can eat loades!!...fill them up with spuds lol...I buy in bulk too.Cash and carry..I also have 4 small dogs..they have 8 between them !!!

I generally buy chicken legs and I eat a whole one. If I was buying thighs it would be 2. I try to eat a fairly high protein diet and low carbohydrate. I don't have a big appetite now, especially as I am on ozempic for my diabetes and it is the carbohydrate I need to avoid.

I suppose it depends on the individual, personal one would be more than enough because I'd rather fill up on veg than meat.

Never seen a single chicken thigh (even in the local butchers) that would be enough for anyone. So definitely two per person.

The Waitrose ones were really big. I ended up cutting them in half.

The canteen at the hospital I used to work served chicken thighs most days. They always served two per person.

Carnivores here, meat, meat, veggies?!
