How many pounds of chicken does a rotisserie chicken yield?!


Question: How many pounds of chicken does a rotisserie chicken yield!?
I am going to make chicken tamales!. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 large rotisserie chicken!. I have 6 lbs of chicken breast in my freezer I recently bought!. How many pounds of the breast do I use to equal 1 1/2 rotisserie chicken!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Cherise, a run of the mill chicken fryer weighs about 3!.5 pounds, and contains 1/2 pound of skin and bones!. So you would expect about 3 pounds of meat from an average fryer!.

I would suggest that you use 4!.5 pounds of chicken breast in this recipe!. That will make a lot of tamales!.

a whole chicken (or a rotisserie chicken) can have about 3-5 pounds!. Since it's a large rotisserie chicken, you can say 4 pounds then (to be in the safe side)!. So, what you need is 6 pounds!. (4pounds + 2pounds)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Measuring the chicken for the tamales is not an exact science!. i would say that you would be safe with 4 lbs!. Because the rotisserie chicken will have the bones to account for!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
