We are talking regular sized chickens?? That does seem like a lot. When I buy a
medium size chicken for the two of us I expect to get at least two meals out of
it. We will have half of it one night and then have the rest of it the next
night, hot or cold. When I find small chickens I like to stock up on them an
do them on the rotisserie and usually split them in two, so half a chicken per
person, and that usually makes for a pretty bounteous portion of chicken for me.
