Should I order more wings than calculated?

📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

200 guests × 80% eating rate

At xlarge events, about 80% of guests will eat full servings. 160 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

160 eaters × 10 pieces per person

As a main dish, plan for 10 pieces per person (~1.0 lb). 1600 base servings

Apply super bowl party modifier

× 1.3 (+30% for wings)

Super Bowl Partys typically consume 30% more wings than average. 2080 pieces needed

Convert to lbs

2080 pieces ÷ 10 per lb

Each lb provides 10 pieces. 208 lbs (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

208 × 1.15 = 239.2, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 240 lbs

Buying Guide

Super Bowl is the biggest food day of the year after Thanksgiving. Plan 10-12 wings per person, 3 slices of pizza, and plenty of chips and dip. Make everything shareable and easy to eat without utensils. Cold foods should stay cold, hot foods in warming trays or slow cookers.
