I may try 20 grams of MSG someday. I believe @eastfrisian has settled upon 20 grams of MSG as his/her sweet spot. A lingering MSG overload aftertaste is what I perceive from real KFC Original Recipe. My guess is that it's either from a lot of MSG, or from a lot of MSG plus 'I+G'. YMMV

I just noticed a typo in my latest recipe proposal. It says to add 18 grams of mix to 200 grams of flour, but it should have said 20 grams. When I bumped the mix's total weight up from 180 grams to 200 grams via cranking up the MSG I forgot to also make a change to read 20 grams to the instructions.

After reviewing my best recipe to date I've come up with this as a 40 Ounce bag compliant version of it. I really need to try this one.

deepfriednew101 , I would suggest that you give the recipe seen immediately above this post a try. Edit: If you have some 'I+G' you might want to add a wee bit of that to it as well.

Since I didn't mind having no Black Pepper and all White Pepper, but the overall feeling was that all H&S were overboard for cooked recipe #12, and in my eating comments I said some Cayenne Pepper seemed appropriate, I decided to return to White Pepper with no Black, but rather with some Cayenne. Previously I had assumed that the ideal White and Black Pepper mix for 200 grams of Flour when not adding Cayenne is: 3.0 grams White 2.2 grams Black Applying my new/subjective Scoville Heat units to this I get: 3.0*11,000 + 2.2*10,000 = 55,000 total Scoville Equivalent Heat Units. It turns out that 4.0 grams of White Pepper + 0.3 grams of Cayenne Pepper is right close to this: 4.0*11,000 + 0.3*40,000 = 56,000 combined real Scoville Units and Scoville Equivalent Heat Units Therefore my new best answer is:

Note that for the above recipe, everything sans flour goes through a coffee grinder.

The difference between White Pepper and Cayenne is that White Pepper has a sort of subdued earthy/muddy and more lingering background flavor, while Cayenne is a much brighter and uplifting and up front 'now' flavor. Both should hopefully complement each other.
