KFC COLESLAW RECIPE

This KFC Coleslaw Recipe is as close as you can get without actually ordering it from the restaurant directly. The taste is simply perfect!

Provided by Amy

Categories     Side Dish

Time 12h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups finely chopped cabbage
1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
2 1/2 tablespoons very finely minced yellow onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Chop the vegetables very fine: the cabbage, carrots, and onions are all chopped very fine, almost like the size of rice. You can chop them with a sharp knife, or if you have a food processor with a shredding attachment, use that and then finely chop with a sharp knife. (See note about using a pre-shredded coleslaw mix.)
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add in cabbage, carrots, and onion; mix well until everything is thoroughly coated.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight. (If you have time - and can remember! - stir it occasionally. This will give you the absolute best results.) Stir again before serving and enjoy!

BETTER THAN KFC COLESLAW



Better Than KFC Coleslaw image

You can make homemade coleslaw that tastes even better than KFC with this easy recipe.

Provided by Stephanie Manley

Categories     Side Dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

13 cups chopped cabbage (This is about 1 large head of cabbage or 2 medium heads of cabbage)
1 green bell pepper ( (optional, there is no bell pepper in the KFC recipe))
1/2 cup choped onion
1/2 cup chopped carrot (1 medium size carrot)
2 cups Miracle Whip Light
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • If you are lucky enough to have a food processor, get it out of your cupboard. Start to cut up the cabbage and place it in the processor. While cutting up the cabbage, also cut up small slices of green pepper, onion, and carrot and add to the processor.
  • Mixing up the ingredients this way will help distribute the flavors throughout the slaw. You may want to use a little less of the onion, or green bell pepper, but do use all of the carrot.
  • If you do not have a food processor, no problem, simply chop the cabbage, onions, and carrots into small pieces. Add chopped green bell pepper if desired.
  • Now mix Miracle Whip, vinegar, oil, and sugar until you have a smooth mixture. The taste should be sweet with just a hint of vinegar.
  • Amount of dressing may be increased or decreased according to the amount of slaw you are making. Add to cut up veggies and mix well. Let stand at least one hour to let flavors mix.

KENTUCKY COLESLAW



Kentucky Coleslaw image

We love going to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Although we enjoy the chicken, we actually go for the coleslaw. We buy several pints at a time. I make several versions of cole slaw but we sometime just want this. I tried for several years before getting this recipe right. I think I have figured it out now.If you are in a hurry get a bag of the preshredded slaw mix. It is not quite as good as grating it yourself though. -Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

JUST LIKE KFC COLESLAW - COPYCAT



Just Like Kfc Coleslaw - Copycat image

Creamy juicy coleslaw that the buddies at my significant other's work could not believe this was not from KFC. I have never found a recipe for the way I make it. I don't think it would be as juicy with real mayo, the sugar makes it juicy

Provided by MinnesotaCook

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 1 half gallon container, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 cups finely chopped cabbage (1 head)
1/4 cup finely grated and chopped carrot
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Finely Chop the Cabbage and put in large mixing bowl.
  • Add the other ingredients and mix well.
  • Put in a container and refrigerate covered. I use a half gallon plastic ice cream container. I find it best to sit over night or for several hours -- for the flavors to blend and allow the sugar to bring out the juices. I serve in tiny desert bowls as it is quite juicy.

2 lbs green cabbage

Tips:

  • Shred the cabbage thinly: This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes coleslaw special. Be sure to use a dressing that is tangy, sweet, and creamy, with a good balance of flavors.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the coleslaw more refreshing.
  • Serve the coleslaw as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
