Cooking chicken

Question

A whole large fryer that weighs 4lbs will provide a little bit less than 2 lbs of meat after it is fabricated into wings breast legs and thighs. Suppose that our. Percent yield from only 16% because our cooks have not been properly trained to fabricate chickens as opposed to 19.4%. How much more chicken will have to be ordered to obtain 10lbs of breast meat

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of chicken needed to yield 10 lbs of breast meat from a fryer and operator that only yields 16% of the total chicken, you need to multiply 10 lbs by the number produced by dividing 100 by 16 which is 5.25. This is the number that accounts for the reduction in productivity when the fryer produces 16% of each chicken into breasts. Therefore the answer is 52.5 lbs of chicken would yield 10 lbs of breast meat.
