How many medium whole chickens is 1 kilogram approximately?

I don't weigh my chicken when I cook so when recipes say 1 kilogram I am never sure how much is needed. I have medium sized chicken, do I need one or two or more?

How many medium whole chickens is 1 kilogram approximately?
Most chickens are over 1kg, so one will suffice.
Reply:Everything "what the duece" said, plus one more thing. If you're talking about just straight up chicken meat, it's a little different. Once that chicken is cooked, theres a lot of skin and bones that won't go into the dish. The recipe might be calling for 1 kilogram of chicken meat, and if that's the case, you might want to go with 1 large chicken or 2 small chickens. A chicken that weighs 1 kilogram will probably only have half a kilogram of meat you can use on it.
Reply:1 kilogram equals 2.2 pounds. A medium-sized chicken can weigh anywhere from about 3 pounds up to almost 5 pounds. So, if your recipe calls for one kilogram of chicken, I'd stick with one small-to-medium sized chicken. It sounds like this recipe is meant to feed only 1 or 2 people, unless there are lots of other ingredients.
Reply:chickens have a size number on them, for eg: number 10 = 1 kilo, number 11 - 1.1 kg, number 15 is 1.5 kilo. etc





so one size 10 chicken is one kilo
Reply:one
