I see no answers guess I'll give some thoughts.

How will you be doing the pulled chicken? plated or sandwiches. You need to know portion size. Will you be serving or will they serve themselves (if they serve themselves you lose money).

There is a big loss with Chicken and really depends on if you are doing whole, breasts, thighs, etc as the bone add a lot of waste.

In restaurant we would get a full case of chicken 1/4's for a good price then brine for 24 hours, smoke. Sometimes we would get a good price for bone in breasts and the lost % is less. I don't remember the exact weight lost, but I would plan for at least 50% if the chicken is whole, 1/2 or 1/4 bone in.

I've been kinda busy these days Big Grin

You also might consider boneless/skinless thighs, commercially available in 40 lb cases. COSTCO, Sam's will have smaller amounts.

Cost on those has been running $1.67-$1.75 @ lb by the case. You'll get a good yield (75%) better flavor and texture.
