I'm not certain about the chicken, that seems more than a tad high. Also I've disagreed with a few caterers here on ribs largely because my ribs keep getting snarfed ala. grande when I cook, like 2 weekends back 8 people demolished 4 HUGE racks and then ate a few bbq sandwiches and some beans, tater chips, and left the slaw... You'd have thought these folks hadn't eaten in days!

I usually figure about 1/3 of a rack per person. Even at that our get gone FAST.
I dont judge it by pound, but as we usually get 3lb racks+-, that's about a pound per person... Remember, there's bone in there. You could go with 1/4 of a rack per person, but I think any less than that and you're cutting it thin.
