I just air fried 3 chicken legs which were not coated or spiced.
Then I started spicing them with a number of different things, and these are my findings:
Celery Salt tasted great alone and in combinations, as expected
Allspice mixed with each of the other spices demonstrably muted their flavor and never gave me any sense of the note. I'd bluntly have to call it a failure.
Star-Anise was much more of a failure than Allspice in combination with anything, as well as alone. Can you say "Wrong!"?
Cumin wasn't too bad, but must not be tried alone.
Smoked Paprika is simply awful in this application. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!!!
The best spice I tried by far was an Amish blended "Poultry Seasoning" mix, which was truly a joy to experience on Chicken. I think it would have been even more perfect if it's oregano was reduced.
Celery Salt plus the Amish Poultry Seasoning mix was also excellent.
Nothing (alone, or in various of combinations) evolved any semblance of the note of KFC Original Recipe
The Amish Poultry Seasoning ingredients list is as follows by descending weight:
1) Salt
2) Coriander
3) Oregano
4) Sage
5) Black Pepper
6) Celery Seed
7) Cumin
8) Thyme
9) Mustard Powder
10) Turmeric
A big thumbs up to my local Amish community for their excellent Poultry Seasoning blend. Each of these ingredients work together well. My preference would be to demote the Oregano down to about where Thyme or Mustard Powder is sitting,
