The answer to Both from Testing Both and Claudia S Spice packaged by Marion Kay.
99x Mixed at the instruction they suggest is Too Weak. It has under tones of KFC yes
Grace Blend's also has a KFC quality BUT also is a NEW AGE KFC style spice.
Claudia's Mix has similar qualities to the Others.
Not certain what others have to say
Grace's is NOT worth ordering Due to Cost

It seems odd that after decades and hundreds of us using these spices and herbs, none of us can definitively claim that we have outright matched the flavor and note of KFC_OR.
Did I read somewhere where it was mentioned that a few curve balls were thrown into the recipe by CHS? Could one of those curve balls be the deception of leading us endlessly down the same path of repeating strict poultry seasoning based recipes forever?
By now some of us would have duplicated the note, etc... if such was factually the case. What curve balls did CHS toss to us?

Which weights the Recipe Glen Was to USE or the Poultry Seasoning weights to Tin Ratio? Both. Glen said he wasn't given any weights. And he had to guess. His personal recipes were always flagged as awful. |

I thought the 'last' recipe from G&F was a wild shot in the dark. It comprised every ingredient from the two contributors he'd previously tested. Throw a bit of the lot in and hope for the best.
All the seasonings are pepper-based. The evidence supports coriander seed and sage.
My SSD died yesterday and I had to buy a new computer. The KFC project sheet I kept is gone until I can find someone to extract the folders from my dead drive.
However, I was wondering
a) if anyone has had 99X professionally analyzed? or
b) considered one of the vials might just be Chicken Stock cubes?
My thoughts are
Colonel Sanders was basically a self-taught amateur cook. He has purchased a tin of Sexton's Poultry Seasoning with the ingredients listed on the side. He looks at this list and realizes they are ordered most to the least content. Now, he wants to strengthen the chicken flavor. The go-to item for chicken flavoring in a kitchen is chicken broth or stock cubes. So, Colonel Sanders first tries to 'amp' up the Sextons poultry seasoning with chicken stock cubes.
He can't admit his innovation is just adding chicken stock cubes to Sexton's poultry seasoning because it isn't really a marketable secret of any real commercial value in that era.
Let's say old-time product labeling was more forthcoming. So, the base ingredients are listed most to the least. So, the order of the ingredients on the Sextons Poultry Seasoning is from the most to the least content. This becomes the early standard for product labeling because there isn't a lot of profit-driven commercialization in the mid-1900s.
People are as commercially savvy and to an extent, more honest in that generation. They don't really consider copycatting a major threat as later in the 20th century when businesses become more profit-driven and aware of the copycatting threat.
Then when Colonel Sanders sell the formula, he has cleverly commercialized his innovation into a 'secret blend'
Modern businesses are more aware of copycatting and the threat to their marketing niche. So, they start to reduce the threat by obscuring the ingredients by doing things like using scientific instead of common product names. Corporate KFC does this, but at the same time attempts to reduce its costs by altering the formula. They realize the lesser ingredients don't contribute much to the flavor. Corporate KFC product lists obscure their secret by expanding or fleshing out the ingredients of chicken stock cubes, hence the MSG and Onion powder.
Colonel Sanders doesn't like the change and starts collaborating with Marion Kay. This company uses the standardized method of product labeling, most to least.
Perhaps the base ingredients are the main ones first listed in the Sextons formula with a heavy touch of Coriander seed, Sage, and chicken stock.
