I heard the principal ingredient of the original chicken is white pepper, but I don't think that's true. The taste of white pepper was overpowering so I believe the main ingredient is tellicherry black pepper. Does anyone have any clue on this?

Black pepper is heavier than the white pepper. Taste black and white pepper on their own and you will see that black pepper has all the flavour. White pepper doesn't really have any flavour, but has alot of heat.

My current thinking as to a rounded estimate of an approximate percentage breakdown that will make a good chicken coating:
Flour : 79%
Salt : 11.4%
Powdered Milk : 1.8%
Powdered Egg : 1.8%
Black Pepper : 1.3%
White Pepper : 1.3%
MSG : 1.2%
Coriander Seed : 0.6%
Allspice 0.4%
Ginger : 0.4%
Anise Seed : 0.2%
Cayenne Pepper : 0.2%
Mace : 0.05%
All Other H&S (the remaining 3) : 0.35%

If you go back to some of the earlier KFC seasoning bags you will find them listing White Pepper over Black Pepper. Now I did find a more recent KFC Ingredient listing that seemed to indicate Black Pepper over white. But keep in mind extracts so who knows. But the labeling for the OR early versions list White Pepper first.
Glen and Friends, Jolly Chef and 99x are the sources that show Black Pepper heavier than White.

The older KFC Bags Listed white pepper first and some countries did change it with Black First flg 100% correct  |
