For a perspective based upon teaspoon measure, 2.5 grams of ground Sweet Basil ~= 1-3/4 teaspoons
Technically:
1.75 TSP x 1.4g./TSP = 2.45 grams
And also for perspective, 200 grams of Cake Flour ~= 1.5 Metric Cups (or 1.6 USA Cups)

Why am I the only forum member attempting to propose 40 ounce bag compliant recipes? And why is there zero feedback for my recipe proposals?
Perhaps a lesson in scaling will help:
KFC's 40 ounce bag of herb and spice mix is intended to be added to 25 pounds of Cake Flour.
25 pounds x 16 ounces/Lb. = 400 ounces of Cake Flour
400 ounces can magically be reduced by a factor of 28.35 merely via assuming to read "grams" wherever one sees "ounces", since 1 Oz. = 28.35 grams.
Half of 400 grams of cake flour = 200 grams of cake flour. This is a reduction of 2 x 28.35 = 56.7, or a reduction of 1:56.7 (or 1/56.7 = 0.017637)
Therefore for the official KFC sized ingredients list as reported in grams (whereby 40 ounces = 1,134 grams, and 25 Lbs. = 11,340 grams) either magically transform ounces to grams and then divide everything by 2, or multiply all KFC ingredients as seen in grams by 0.017637 whereby to scale them down to 200 grams of Cake Flour. The choice is yours. Same/Same...
11,340 x 0.017637 = 200.0036 = 200 grams (rounded)

There are exactly two of us currently active within this forum who routinely offer up our own KFC_OR_Like recipe proposals. flg and myself. This is a very sad state of affairs, as I would like to see this forum blossom and succeed, and this is after all a forum for recipes leading to the end-goal of capturing the elusive full-song 'note' of KFC_OR. Unfortunately, the forums prime naysayer of our proposed recipes offers zero recipes in return. |

suggestion ONLY add 1/2 of the Oregano & Marjoram if you are worried .75 Mix the Batch with 1/2 the amount of flour and test 2 Pieces of chicken
then add the other 1/2 of the Oregano, Marjoram to the second 1/2 of the Flour and compare a side by side between the two.
Oregano is a MUCH stronger flavor then Marjoram you will detect it before the Marjoram BUT they also BOTH stick different to FLOUR also
remember keep sifting your flour

At the level I'm at, I'm not too worried. What I'd rather know is which one (if either) is actually found within KFC_OR.

deepfriednew101, since I only want to make a 10X sized recipe once, and I don't have Mexican Sage (also called Mexican Oregano), and since Mediterranean Oregano is so dominantly overpowering strong, I'm going to split the addition into half Marjoram and half Mediterranean Oregano and then add both. Marjoram is nowhere near as strong tasting as Oregano. That brings my upcoming recipe to looking like this. The major downside being 12 H&S instead of 11.

If Grace's blends Sage is actually Mexican Oregano/Sage, then that would fully explain moving it well down the H&S pecking order, as opposed to MK 99X having conventional Sage at the very top of the H&S pecking order.

You need to understand When Pat made the Grace Blend recipe he was USING a Copy of CHS written recipe for the 11 Spice and Herb.
Bill Summers was using knowledge and CHS insight
Bill Summers knew he could Mix the exchange the 2 spices or mix sage and oregano.

Marjoram should be double the amount of the Mediterranean Oregano
1.50g Marjoram should be double the amount of the .75g Mediterranean Oregano
