In terms of the carb calculation Silver was looking at, the 10-12% coating estimate would seem high, once the adjuncts get added in. You used 120g of the combined mix, so perhaps close to 100g of actual flour, coating 1300g or 7.7%. Which would lead to lower carbs as the adjuncts don’t contribute. I think the calculation assumes that the remaining flour didn’t gain much moistness as a result of breading the chicken. To the extent that it did, you actually used even less flour. . |

The Carbohydrate calculations were a hint, and I believe in the right direction.
I measured the left Flour today after many days of using, the moisture factor is minimal I believe.
In order to achive the 4g Accent recommendation I need to add 13g of MSG to the mix, and all that, with the 14g Pepper and 3g other herbs and spices correspond nicely to the 40g Seasoning bag.
Any amount less than 13g will be less than 4g on the pieces.
Of course Colonel Sanders could have used amount less than that, but it is reasonable to think he might have used the Accent recommendations.

40 Oz seasoning bag
18 Oz Pepper
18 Oz MSG
4 Oz Herbs and Spices
This is of course not an exact math, but I believe the actual 40 Oz bag is not too far from this.

The salt level in the seasoning bag is the corporation game, it can take it from any part of those.
I am building it on the Pepper amount I needed in my experiments, and the MSG level recommended by Accent

When I eat real KFC the MSG taste and aftertaste dominates and lingers for a long time. At 13-15 grams of MSG in 200 grams of flour I still have not achieved the same MSG level that I perceive for actual KFC_OR.
Place some MSG on your tongue and the lingering aftertaste will remind you of KFC.
Salt, Pepper, MSG and a hint of H&S may be all that is required.
I've been hard pressed to reach the saltiness level of KFC. Perhaps with MSG elevated the salt flavor will go up. KFC also has somewhat of a sweetness nature, and the glutamate ion is a sugar...

It all sum up nicely. Exactly so. DT |

We were trying to counter this by adding all kinds of sugars to the mix, where we all needed to do is to up the MSG level, the glutamate will boost the other sweet spices like Ginger and Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg... Don't forget its a Fast Food recipe we are trying to crack here after all. DT |

Not all MSG comes from Aji-No-Moto or Accent.
