I tasted KFC original chicken in other countries. They had a sweet peppery flavor and they weren't as salty as in the US. Does anyone have any idea on what herbs and spices CHS used to provide sweet peppery flavor? Is it nutmeg, cardamom, coriander, and tellicherry black pepper?

I went to kfc about 4 weeks ago and it was by far the best chicken i have ever had from them. When they opened the pressure fryer an amazing sweeeeet aroma filled the whole store. The smell, smelt identical to smelling green cardamom but i don't think all of that smell was coming from cardamon alone but it smelt just like cardamom.
Imo, the recipe revolves around sweet spices and this is why using telicherry black pepper is critical because it is sweeter than regular black pepper which is bitter and hot.
I am waiting on some "la plantation" Kampot black, white and red peppercorns which is considered the absolute best in the world. Kampot pepper has interesting characteristics such as being sweeter, and the white pepper is made from the red peppercorns. I don't think CHS used kampot pepper but maybe the regular black pepper was much better quality back in those days and similar to the quality of kampot?

All the spices in the 1930's were a PURE spice in 2022 most are blended with fillers and they allow 20% fillers in spices now as before they only allowed minimal %
