From 14 of 17 ingredient lines (100% of the measured weight), divided into 3 servings (estimated: average of rules (1: 100 g protein foods at ~170 g per serving) and model check (4)). Typical amounts assumed for oil, plain flour, garlic salt, paprika, chicken, white onion and 6 more, because the video doesn’t say how much. Not counted because the video gives no amount: cornflour, salt, pepper, red pepper, green pepper, malt vinegar and 1 more.
