Sausage

Weight Calculations and Servings

Hello all!

I was performing some searches online to find the finished cook weight of an average whole chicken and it became very frustrating when I couldn’t find ANYTHING!

I have a general idea – but wanted other opinions.  After no luck, I decided to cook 6 birds and get the average.  With that – I decided it would be valuable to post a general overview of all the meats we’ve cooked, provide their finished yield and our estimate tools for serving a party, catering an event or otherwise.

Beer Butter Sausage

OK – I’m not about to tell you that this is a health item.  It certainly is not – but good lord is it delicious.  I got this from a good friend who’s 100% German.  Apparently it came from his Grandma’s kitchen.  I believe it and have made these for countless parties.  Most will say that these are the best “grilled” sausages they’ve ever had.  If for nothing else, you MUST try this due to it’s simplicity and taste.

Ingredients

  • 2 – packages (the 5 – 6 link) of your favorite Brats or Italian sausages (I use Hot Italian)
