I'd say chicken breasts are probably closer to a half to 3/4 lb. each, depending on their size. so 2-3 half breasts total should be more than enough for 2 lbs.
Chicken thighs can range in size, but for typical grocery store brands, figure that four bone-in, skin-on thighs will weigh about 1 ½ pounds. But each of those thighs will yield about 2 ½ to 3 ounces of meat (the rest of the weight is skin and bone). I generally figure on two thighs per person.
That would mean there are approximately 4 to 5 chicken wings in a pound. That would mean there are approximately 40 to 50 chicken wings in a 10 pound (lb) bag. 10 lbs of chicken wings feeds approximately 9 people (if they have average appetites).

A typical commercial chicken fillet serving weighs about 113 grams, or 4 ounces, and does not include skin. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that the average chicken fillet of this size provides 122 calories, of which approximately 31 calories come from 3.4 grams of total fat.

Cooked Boneless Chicken
For each adult, count on having about 4 to 5 ounces of cooked chicken, 10 ounces of uncooked boneless chicken breasts will yield approximately 6 1/2 ounces cooked, while 10 ounces of uncooked boneless chicken thighs will yield about 5 ounces cooked.A 1 to 2 pound hen is generally served as a single serving but can feed up to two people. Broiler/Fryer: A 2 ½ to 4 pound whole chicken will serve approximately three to four people.
When Meat Is the Main: When cooking something like steak, roast, chicken, or pork, where meat is the main feature of the meal and paired with a few side dishes, we recommend about 1/2 pound (eight ounces) per person, up to 3/4 (12 ounces) pound for bigger appetites and those who love leftovers.
Most receptions for 100 people cost around $5,000 to $10,000, with average cost being around $7,000. Here's a breakdown of what you'll be spending on everything – from food to service and staffing, along with alcohol and rentals for a wedding of approximately 100 guests.

Mains (meat / pasta with sauce / fish) 160 grams (or 100 grams of protein per adult, plus 60-ish grams of sauce, garnish, etc - this allows for a bit of extra) Sides are 1/3 * 2 of mains, since people generally have more than one side. Roughly 2 servings at 50 grams each, for a total of 100 grams.
The recommended single portion of chicken is 3-4 ounces, about the size of a deck of playing cards. Some people use the palm of their hand as a guide. Depending on the vendor, some chicken breasts are twice or even three times the size of a recommended serving.
30 to 35 kgs) chickens must be able to feed them because of the facts these people will focus more on drinking rather than eating or might be a little full drinking only. And if we want to feed 150 people who are not drinking we might end up feeding them around 100 to 110 chickens (50 kgs).

For a modern, American, conventional broiler the drumstick is usually around 4oz/a quarter pound and the bone-in-skin-on thigh is about 50–100% heavier than that. Add a few ounces for the attached spine and any ice glazing (if purchased frozen) and you get close to a pound per leg quarter when buying in bulk.
So, a 1# leg quarter yields 2 servings of 4-6 ounces of cooked meat each (minus bone and skin weight). It's a lot easier for me to look at a thigh or drumstick and say, “That's one serving” than a quarter of a breast.
A chicken consists of 4 quarters. Two quarters, the white meat, consist of the breast and the wing. The other two quarters, the dark meat, are the drumstick and thigh.
It says there is 80 OZ 5 lb bag. 4 oz per serving, and 230 cals per serving. And there are 6 chicken leg quarters in the bag.
An average drumstick weighs about 4 ounces, with roughly 1 1/2 ounces of meat (without skin or bone).
For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture permits leg quarters sold together to weigh between 8.5 and 24 ounces; in other words, one leg quarter in a package can weigh almost three times as much as another.
