My church asks me to cook ribs and chicken for about approx. 200 people. Never doing this size before starting to do a little brain storming and want to make sure I’m thinking correctly.
With 200 people and serving both ribs and chicken (leg qtr.) plan for 125 meal each?
Ribs 3 or 4 bones per? That would be approx.. 41 slabs????
Chicken just planning on getting 125 rear quarter’s.
2 questions, planning to cooking the ribs on the reverse side of my smoker and cooking fast at 350. The chicken will be on the other side (direct heat) same 350 temp.
1[sup]st[/sup], I’ve never cooked at this temp before, will the meats still be at a eatable tender?
2[sup]nd[/sup], my smoker is really set to cook for approx.. 80-100 people so I will have to do two cooks. If I foil the meats and pack in a cooler what would the max amount of time it would be safe to keep in the cooler before serving?
Any wisdom and directions would be greatly appreciated.
