How many carbohydrates are present within the Lug? Let's say the flour used is ~10% Protein, with the rest being carbohydrates. 11,340 grams of flour x 0.90 = 10,206 grams of carbohydrates in the Lug. If you go to the KFC nutrition website and calculate it, the average piece of 'OR' chicken has only 6.5 grams of carbohydrates. 10,206 grams of carbs in the Lug / 6.5 grams carbs per chicken piece = 1,570 pieces being coated per Lug. Can KFC actually coat ~1,570 pieces of chicken per Lug? Did I do this correctly? www.kfc.com/full-nutrition-guide |

When I use 200 grams of flour, the most I can coat is 16 mixed pieces.
200 grams of flour x 0.90 = 180 grams of carbohydrates (plus 20 grams of protein)
180/16 = 11.25 grams of carbohydrates per piece (on average)
11.25 mine/6.5 theirs = 1.73
Could my chicken actually have 73% more carbohydrates than KFC's chicken? My single layer coating seems quite similar overall to theirs.

OK, for one sphere with a 2 inch radius, and another sphere with about a 2.625" radius, the surface area of the 2.625" radius sphere is 72% greater.
Surface area = 4PiR^2
4*3.14159*2.000^2 = 50.2654 square inches
4*3.14159*2.625^2 = 86.5901 square inches
86.5901/50.2654 = 1.721 (or 72.1% more surface to coat)
It may just be that the chickens I purchase are overall well larger than KFC's tiny chickens.
So in terms of flour, salt, MSG, and H&S, my chickens need a lot more of these than a KFC chicken. About 73% more!
So their 26 ounce bag would scale to my 45 ounce bag. (26 x 1.73 = 45)
Does this sound correct?

Currently we can coat 225 Pieces of Chicken with 25Lbs of seasoned Flour in Canada.
as a general rule the coating should stick with approximately 10 ` 12% coating.

10,206/225 = 45.4 grams of carbohydrates per average piece.

I guess you need to Buy Free Range Grass Fed Chickens then it bring the Numbers down lower in the carbohydrates they would eat less wheat or corn by-products.
Lower carbohydrates.

There are essentially zero carbs in chicken meat no matter what the chickens eat, All of the carbs are in the coating. |

I'm sorry I was trying to Make a Joke regarding the Carbs a chicken would have ate LOL.
You are correct its all a Breading where its found.
KFC has always stated AFTER 1970's they used a Specially formulated Flour

So, with all of that delicious wheat flour based coating on it, convoluted and folded, how does KFC keep the average grams of carbohydrates at 6.5 grams per mixed piece?
