Pulled Chicken

I'd like to add Pulled Chicken to my catering menu and need advice from the Brethren.

I've tried bone-in thighs and boneless breasts but have had the best success smoking whole chickens. I can get whole birds from Sam's Club that average about 5 1/2 lb. What yield should I expect from whole chickens.

I would agree with Bbq Bubba. That is about the yield we get. There is a lot of "bone" in them birds.

NOTE: We have used whole birds before. Smoked, pulled, served and then used the carcasses for ourselves for making chicken soup stock....mmmm.......good.
