Copycat KFC Coleslaw

 

 

This copycat version of KFC coleslaw is pretty close to the original. Try this easy recipe and taste for yourself. It’s delicious. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

Do you agree with me? I think coleslaw goes with just about any meal. It’s the perfect side dish whether you’re eating a hot meal like roast beef or a cold tuna sandwich. Coleslaw complements any meal in my opinion. 

 

We have a few great coleslaw recipes already up on the blog. But, my favorite still and has always been from KFC.

 

So, my mission was to try and copy the original famous KFC coleslaw recipe. I must admit, it took a few tries until it tasted pretty close. 

 

Then, it was my family who had to give me the green light on putting the recipe on the blog. 

 

 Well, I think it’s a big success. My whole family loved copycat version. It was hard for them to tell which was which. 

 

I think one secret is to chop the cabbage just the way they do at KFC. 

 

Since it’s such a huge hit, I’m going to make this again to bring to our friends for a barbecue. 

 

Try this simple recipe out. See and taste for yourself. It’s pretty close indeed!

Copycat KFC Coleslaw

Yields: 10-12 side dish servings

Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup milk, I used 2 percent
  • 1/3 cup superfine sugar (castor) or granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 -3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp celery seed, optional
  • About 8 cups cabbage, finely chopped. I bought bags of already shredded cabbage then chopped up. Or, one large head cabbage.
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped carrots, again, I bought a small bag coarsely chopped carrots then chopped. Or one large carrot, grated, chopped.
  • 1 1/2 – 2 tbsp minced white or yellow onion

 

Easy to find in the produce section, just chop up some more for the perfect texture like the original.

Same with the carrots, found right next to the bags of coleslaw mix. Easy-Peasy recipe, that’s for sure.

Directions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine mayo and all other ingredients up to cabbage. (Do not add cabbage) Use a whisk to mix. Dressing should be completely combined and creamy.
  2. Add chopped cabbage, carrots and onions to the dressing. Gently fold all together until all the cabbage is coated.
  3. Cover with plastic wrap or put into a sealed container in fridge for 4 hours or overnight. When you take out, gently mix again.

ENJOY this great copycat recipe right in your own home!
