Great Math skill
I think a fair assessment CHS would have use 1 handful to 25Lbs of seasoned Flour.
25Lbs of seasoned flour would make 225 Pieces of cooked chicken
1Lbs of seasoned Flour to 1 Head of chicken is a current use rate.
BUT that is with chickens that are also 5Lbs not a 2.5Lbs Bird that CHS would have been using in the Day

BUT that is with chickens that are also 5Lbs not a 2.5Lbs Bird that CHS would have been using in the Day I thought CHS tossed in 2 handfuls. But either way it is irrelevant sans for the CHS comment that it made the best chicken he had ever tasted "to date". He would not likely lock in "2 handfuls" per 25 Lbs. as if written in stone without at a later date (or multiples of such dates) exploring both more and less than "2 handfuls", as rarely (if ever) would a mere first guess or hunch hit quantity perfection square on the head. So we have 2 unknowns here: 1) How many nominal grams of MSG are there in 2 CHS handfuls 2) How much MSG was settled upon after further honing in upon the addition of MSG whereby to fully optimize it. |

If he "cupped" both hands the quantity would rise substantially vs. cupping one hand twice. My guess is that he cupped both hands together side by side whereby to form a maximized 'bowl', and then scooped MSG from a drum into this 'hand bowl'. That's a substantial volume. Perhaps as much as 4 cups if his hands were as large as is often reported.
If scaled to 200 grams in this precise fashion (while assuming 4 cups) the initial guess quantity could easily be 14.5 to 15 grams of MSG into 200 grams of Flour.
But alas this is pure guessing. Just as minimizing the situation and presuming one hand scooping twice and coming up with 3 grams into 200 is also purely guessing.

A simple rule is pour some MSG in your hand as if you were measuring what you would have thrown in back in 1955/ 1956
1/4 cup of MSG would have been what fit in a handful Palm
small Tins of the Ac'cent were 1 or 2oz but commercial had 10LBS Tin before CHS used 100Lbs Barrels

In the Old day a handful was figured By pouring with the other hand and it was typically NOT cupped it was like a Pinch you did not try to Take big Pinch amounts they just took a pinch and if they needed more they took another pinch.
People were more on the Low amount when they measured in hand. It was also they were limited in supplies

And again irrelevant as to the "final" settled upon quantity. It does however seem that such intentionally minimized guessing is required whereby to write in stone 3 to 3.5 grams per 200 grams of Flour. This illogical reasoning seems to have stuck somehow, as 3 to 3.5 grams said over and over again eventually influences as if gospel. |

It certainly is more than 3g per 200g flour. Definitely double digits |

This illogical reasoning seems to have stuck somehow, as 3 to 3.5 grams said over and over again eventually influences as if gospel. I think what it comes down to is the understanding or the idea that the MSG is included in the 26oz bag. And nowhere else in the process or products used. So if you use more than 6oz (scale of 3g in 200g)for MSG and your peppers are say 10 to 11(5-6g in 200g) or more oz. You are at 16-17(8-9g in 200) oz or better without any other Herb or Spice. You run out of room fast with higher MSG values. Again based on a hard 26

view the OLD cans of MSG that CHS had and reference the amount
