Was just thinking, the problem with weaker red pepper is that there would be more in the spice mix, but everyone that has seen the kfc spice mix, and in photos of it there is never any sign of red.

I'm from Atlantic Canada and I don't recall KFC ever being red. I asked my 86 yo mom if she remembers that and her answer was no.

Mike Early KFC chicken was not ever red, but rather it was a noticeably darker brown, leaning a bit more toward the red side of the color spectrum than the yellow towards which modern KFC's lighter brown leans. Annatto or Turmeric extract wouldn't surprise me as to modern KFC OR.
KFC OR boxes at one time stated in print right on the cover that Paprika was one of the 11 ingredients. Paprika is red/brown to brown/red, and it makes for a deep fried chicken that's a bit more in that color direction.

silver I didn't mean red as a beet. I meant "reddish" as others have referred to. Where and when do you remember eating KFC? Mike

If the color is not off this seems a bit redish.

1959 and onward, Kenny King's in Cleveland Ohio. As an aside, I came across a photo of a flyer from 1959 introducing Kentucky Fried Chicken to the Cleveland and Cleveland Suburbs chain of Kenny King's Restaurants. The flyer stated that Colonel Sanders chickens must weigh between 2.5 and 3 pounds. Average = 2.75 Lbs. = 1.25 Kg. This is the weight of a fresh whole/dressed and unfrozen chicken that should be sought out for our cloning efforts whereby to correctly balance the seasoning mix to the chicken. Edit: If your chickens weigh near twice this, as they generally now will, then double coating might be fully appropriate. Or alternately, and likely better, single coating, but using up to twice the weight of H&S that CHS used (but clearly not twice the 'external to the bag' salt). Edit: A different early Kenny Kings flyer exhibited a Family Sized Bucket going for $3.75 (in USD's). Family Size = 16 pieces.

Inflation long term in the USA has averaged about 3.5%. If a 16 piece bucket cost $3.75 circa 1960, then 63 years forward and:
$3.75 x 1.035^63 = $32.75
My wife and I bought 16 pieces about 6 months ago for $32.

Works in reverse years also:
$32 x 1.035^-63 = $3.66
$32 x 1.035^-62.5 = $3.73 (where 62.5 years is a better reflection of 6 months ago)

As a butcher, I get what we refer to as all natural “broiling chickens” or “ broilers”. They come in 2.75# on average, and are the only thing I use for frying. At cost they run about $5.65 each. Young and tender birds and the 8# of pressure I get in my pressure fryer does wonders to the meat. Almost fall off the bone especially after a rest on the oven. There’s another brand cost is about $4.05 each. They are pre treated/brined with water, sodium phosphate, salt, and a soluble garlic (salt, gum arabic, and garlic extractives) also a great performer.

I also spoke with this person. In fact, he contacted me. He would constantly send me recipes, only to later reveal that he was trolling. He claims that both white pepper and black pepper are not in the recipe, but if there are no peppers, then there is no KFC. We know, at the very least, that Margaret stated there was black pepper and salt before he started to create his original recipe blend that we all love.
The bag is intriguing. It can't be that old, as it has an 800 number and a barcode scanner.
