Logistics Question on multiple Spatchcock chickens on a Large

1/3 per person sounds about right to me, but that teenager outlier is tough to plan for.  I can easily fit 2 on my large...possibly 3 if you get creative, but I haven't laid them out to see how I'd do that.

What I do in situations like this, is make two meats.  One that cooks long, one that cooks quick.   Cook your 2 chickens (3 if you can squeeze 'em) and then while they are resting throw on some sausage or hot dogs.    If you have multiple meats, people will try a little bit of both and everything will go further. 

When the 2nd meat is halfway cooked, you can go in, separate the chicken into parts, get things on the table, and then throw the sausage/dogs directly on the table from the grill as you're calling everyone to dinner. 

You could also do a seafood.  Fish & shrimp cook really quick and yield great results.
