Celery Salt or ground Celery Seeds?

[silver]

My wife's favorite spice for poultry is Celery Salt.  Has anyone experimented with adding either Celery Salt or ground Celery Seeds to their KFC clone mix, and if so, how much did you use (on a 200 grams of flour equivalent basis), and how did the chicken turn out?

I'm 50/50 on celery salt. Celery seeds survive heat better than dried celery. Much celery salt doesn't even use celery. Lovage is used.

Does Celery Seed contain any quantity of Eugenol?  Is eugenol what I have seen referred to as "the note" (which I presume to mean the defining flavor) on this forum?

Celery does not have Eugenol as a primary or secondary constituent, per this spice handbook reference:

zero.sci-hub.do/3893/8fbb17283f15d18e745171046a7a514e/malhotra2012.pdf?download=true

It is mentioned in a cited reference by Kaufman, which I did not track down, but I suspect it is a very very small amount.

Cloves dwarf other sources.

regarding “the note”, perhaps start here: kfc11.proboards.com/post/3554/thread

For a balanced recipe with a decent amount of clove, try one of Ken_Griffiths’s most recent ones, such as found here:

I just finished drying a stalk (bunch) of celery. I still have to grind it. I will make celery salt and celery powder with this and then give it a try. Seeds are bitter.
