GT42R - pick up some good bread at the bakery to go along with the chickens (be sure to get some unsalted butter, too) and everyone will be happy.
For a casual, mixer, socialize type dinner for 8 -- I do this sometimes....A pot of Vegetable Beef Soup --- A Pot of Chili --- Two Corn Breads ... A Jalapeno bread, and a Broccoli bread....Sit it out with bowls, spoons, napkins etc...Let everybody eat what they want -- when they want -- if they want!!
Have Fun!
