Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots for the coleslaw. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the slaw more flavorful.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in the buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can also add your favorite seasonings to the marinade, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • When cooking the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat so that it doesn't dry out. You can cook the chicken in a skillet, on the grill, or in the oven.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, let it cool slightly before shredding it. This will make it easier to shred and will help prevent the chicken from falling apart.
  • To make the dressing, simply whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as Dijon mustard, horseradish, or celery seeds.
  • Combine the chicken, coleslaw, and dressing in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately or chill for later.
