The problem with that is KFC makes it clear that there are 11 herbs and
spices.

This is their ingredients page:
https://www.kfc.com/assets/pdfs/kfc_ingredients.pdf

Most products have amazingly long ingredient lists. Here the chicken we are
discussing:

Original Recipe Chicken
Fresh Chicken Marinated With: Salt, Sodium Phosphate and Monosodium
Glutamate. Breaded With: Wheat Flour, Sodium Chloride
and Anti-caking agent (Tricalcium Phosphate), Whey, Nonfat Milk, Egg
Whites, Corn Starch, Potato Starch, Maltodextrin,
Triglycerides, Natural Flavoring (Milk), Gelatin (From Chicken), Colonel’s
Secret Original Recipe Seasoning.

As you can see, the MSG is in addition to these 11 spices. And salt also
gets into the chicken via the marinade.
