The Famous KFC Coleslaw Recipe
This creamy and tangy coleslaw is a spot-on recreation of the beloved KFC side dish. Perfectly sweet and refreshing, it's the ultimate companion for fried chicken, BBQ, and more.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp finely grated onion
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 8 cups finely diced cabbage
- 1/4 cup shredded carrot
Instructions
- Using a fine grater, grate 1 tablespoon of onion. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, mayonnaise, buttermilk, whole milk, white vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Finely dice the cabbage into small, bite-sized pieces and shred the carrot using a grater. Consistent sizing ensures even coating with the dressing.
- Mix the diced cabbage and shredded carrot with the dressing in the large bowl. Toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to meld flavors and soften slightly.
- Before serving, give the coleslaw a final stir. Serve cold as a side dish with your favorite meals.
Notes
For best results, prepare the coleslaw a day in advance to allow the flavors to develop fully. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
