It's been slow here of late, and I've been thinking of a means to utilize a somewhat hotter form of Chili Powder than the more typical off the shelf mild variety as a single ingredient to be used (on first guess) at about 0.60 grams in a KFC "like" coating recipe based upon 200 grams of flour. To that end:
Homemade and Hotter Chili Powder
---------------------------------------
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin

Looks very similar to the dry rub I make for pork ribs BBQ. Although I'd have 2 times the sweet paprika for that. Oregano out and Brown Sugar in. But as you mentioned this version will pack more heat.
You should mix and meld some and put it in your next cook. Chili powder didn't work for me but I just used off the shelf. So this may be the way to go in experimenting. No waste for you, rub it on some pork and go BBQ if it doesn't work out in KFC.

I gather that actual retail chili powder also has ground chili peppers and some salt in it, but this will suffice for my chicken coating needs. I've just made up my hot chili powder for use in KFC "like" coating exactly as seen in the first post to this thread.
But if I was doing it again, it would look like:
Hot Version:
------------
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon ground dried chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
Standard Version:
-----------------
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoon ground dried chili pepper flakes
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
Note: Dried Chili Pepper Flakes are the same item as would be seen on the table at a Pizza Restaurant.
Add all ingredients to a spice or coffee grinder and grind/blend for ~10 seconds.

Looks like a great season
if you use a coffee grinder pulse the spices to keep the heat down while blending.
Then when we go to clean the coffee grinder we add salt and grind it down to a fine flour consistency.
With the ground flour salt also use less salt, KFC Original salt was a Diamond Style salt but had Lots of flour consistency salt i it from bouncing around in the boxes and rubbing lots of fine particles off the salt crystals

Revised my recipes for Chili Powder yet again. I think I'll start over again, and use the hot recipe as seen here. Attachment has both standard and hot Chili Powder. (Note: The earlier recipes seen above this post were way too top heavy in oregano, and the hot had too much cayenne)  |

In the 1930's Sweet Bell Peppers were used in chili powder  |
