Here’s a popular Copycat KFC Coleslaw Recipe that closely mimics the original KFC taste—creamy, tangy, and perfectly balanced:
Ingredients:
-
4 cups finely chopped green cabbage (about half a medium head)
-
1/4 cup finely chopped carrot (about 1 medium carrot)
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
-
1/3 cup mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons buttermilk
-
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
-
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
-
Prepare the veggies: Finely chop the cabbage, carrot, and onion. It’s important to chop very finely to get the texture close to KFC’s.
-
Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
-
Combine: Add the chopped cabbage, carrot, and onion into a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables.
-
Mix well: Stir until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
-
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight. The flavors meld and soften during chilling.
-
Serve cold as a perfect side dish to fried chicken or your favorite meal!
