It depends on your spices too. I am at 1g ginger into 200g flour. So higher than Deep Taste. But we most likely have very different type or manufacturer of it. So his amount works for him. Mine for me. But either of us may need to adjust next time we purchase it. Kind of leads to the discussion that 2 people following the same recipe for KFC most likely will have slightly different results. Should be KFC like but may be short of the AHA moment. |

Aha sorry, personally I will keep it at this level because those are strong spices, they have to enhance the Chicken flavor without dominating it, you can go up after that if you still think it needs more. I pressure fry the Chicken, using other methods may needs more spice, but that has its disadvantages also. DT I was just looking for your opinion. Thank you. As this seems to be an early trial in this series, and not yet a balancing / finishing exercise, I wondered if your sense was whether the mix would benefit from a little more of these spices or not. I once saw a volume based series of recipe numbers that, when converted to your amount of flour (300g) suggested similar amounts of pepper (3-1/3 tsp white, 2-1/8 black, and closer to 1 tsp of the warm spices. I admire your methodical approach and appreciate you sharing the intermediate results. I don’t often cook with 300g and don’t have an intuitive feel for the correct amounts. |

Thank you for the kind words.
Frying Chicken is not easy, I started in 2005, I cannot say I perfected it until maybe only lately, Once read that fried chicken can keep a southern cook awake all the night.
In KFC you can taste the pepper, the other spices are not strikingly clear, the note has to mimic this experience, that gives you the peppery taste with feeling of something exciting that you cannot put your finger on, and the Chicken must be the star, not the spices.
Pressure cooking, oil temp, short cooking time, using only essential spices, one coat, all has an influence on the end result.

Update on MSG Level
Last couple of recipes I have measures exactly how much Flour I am using.
For every 1 g Chicken I need 0.14 g from the Breading Mix.
Using the 87 Oz KFC seasoning bag added to 400 Oz Flour,
And using Ac'cent early recommendations, 5 Oz MSG to 100 Lbs Poultry, The result was:
10.889 Oz MSG has to be a part of the total breading mix, which means 6 Oz less than what I calculated before.
2.236 % of your mix has to be MSG

Update on MSG LevelLast couple of recipes I have measures exactly how much Flour I am using. For every 1 g Chicken I need 0.14 g from the Breading Mix. Using the 87 Oz KFC seasoning bag with 37 Oz Salt added to 400 Oz Flour, And using Ac'cent early recommindations, 5 Oz MSG to 100 Lbs Poultry, The result was: 12 Oz MSG has to be a part of the total breading mix, which means 6 Oz less than what I calculated before. 2.29 % of your mix has to be MSG DT Now that's some valuable detail work! Thank you!!! |

5 ounces of MSG ~= 142 grams (rounded)
If the averaged dressed and cut chicken weighs about 4.4 pounds (or ~2 Kg.), then:
142 grams MSG x 4.4 Lbs./100Lbs. ~= 6.25 grams of MSG required per Chicken (or as the industry might say, per Head).
My wife has coated 2 full chickens worth of cut pieces (including the backs, or keels) with ~245 grams of spiced flour mixture (consisting of 200 grams flour plus everything else).
That would mean 2 x 6.25 grams, = 12.5 grams of MSG.
I would round this up to an even 13 grams of MSG required for each 200 grams of flour. But you are free to round it down to 12 grams, or just leave it at 12.5 grams.

The Pepper level in my recipe was 0.005 g for every 1 g Chicken.

We could be able to compare recipes better if we started to calculate the concentration of Salt, Pepper, MSG that ended up on the Chicken.
My Salt Level today was 0.013 g per 1 g Chicken.
