Instead of sprinkling herbs on eggs, what I would sometimes do is pouring a dash of boiling water onto a small amount of herbs in a tiny bowl and let it sit for a few minutes. This gives you a first and quick idea of what you can expect and you can try different combinations in no time to see which items dominate and where something could be placed in a recipe.
The results are quite interesting as you can identify overpowering items or wrong ratios. Whilst testing different herbs in various combinations, Thyme stood out rather negatively I must say. If I ever use it again, it will surely be the least heavy herb by weight. I was already questioning how necessary it would be since I already use Savory. I followed Glens order for a while and had thyme above Sage and Marjoram. I think this was very wrong.
The most appealing combination was (decreasing)
Sage
Savory
Marjoram

I haven't yet found the Thyme I have to be overpowering but I will pay particular attention next time I am mixing. I normally do all the herbs as a stand alone mix. To try to determine if any one of them really changes the smell in a harsh way. This is where I learned that savory really makes a positive addition.
I notice in a lot of commercial poultry seasonings marjoram and thyme flip flop from top to bottom of the list. Depending on the maker, and I have seen it change in the same brand over the years as well.

I've sort of abandoned Thyme, though I might consider it again at some juncture. As flg commented earlier today, it can get away with itself and excessively dominate or overpower in a hurry. And by the time you've tamed it, it's at such a low quantity that it's not worth adding it. Early on I favored Thyme, and dismissed Savory, mainly due to the "the ingredients can be found in any southern spice cabinet" logic, but now I'm getting much better results with Savory, and occasionally also with added Marjoram. I'm not sure if all Marjoram is like mine, but mine is very inoffensive, and doesn't have much (if any) Oregano_like essence. Adding Marjoram doesn't seem to make anything pop. And leaving it out doesn't seem to change things much (if at all) either. |

There definitely was thymol found in analysis of both KFC and modern 99x. The amount in 99x meant .125 oz of thyme would satisfy it. I believe herbs and spices could have been reduced by 50%. With exception of the pepper.
I would think thyme would be .125g to .25 in 400g flour

flg.
so are you saying just over 1/8 of a teaspoon and possible 1/3 teaspoon approximately of Thyme to 2 cups of flour ?
1/8 of a teaspoon of Ground Thyme weights .125 grams 1/3 of a teaspoon is approximately .265grams ground Thyme
We just mixed .3 grams of Thyme into 2 cups of Flour and coated popcorn chicken pieces NO other seasoning No other additive JUST TO SEE IF there was any Flavor of Thyme
THERE WAS ZERO FLAVOR NO EFFECT TO THE TASTE OF THE CHICKEN NO THYME FLAVOR.
We then mixed .6 grams of Thyme to Flour and Deep Fried the Popcorn chicken Bites This is the Point where we ALL LAUGTH
I guess ANYONE feel that .125 or .250gram of Thyme works for 200g or 2 Cups of Flour KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF
Try frying chicken with only the .125 or .250g of Thyme mix into the flour and cook the chicken taste it and give your review.

Summer Savory oil is 23.12% Thymol by weight. It is also 24.5% Carvacrol by weight. Obviously there is no need for Thyme or an Oregano (including Marjoram) when using Summer Savory.  |

Summer Savory oil is also 20.72% in y-Terpinene. Cardamom, Cumin, Cilantro, Hyssop, and Marjoram are also good sources of this oil. Summer Savory replaces all of them in this regard.
