What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: KFC Copycat Coleslaw! Instead of running into town to the local chicken drive-through for the national brand of coleslaw we’re all familiar with, you can make this popular side dish at home. It goes well on pork sliders, stuffed into fish tacos, or layered over sloppy joes. Knowing you made it fresh may ease your mind when it comes to being susceptible to all the germs running rampant right now. A container of coleslaw will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator, leaving you with many options for jazzing up a meal.
KFC COPYCAT COLESLAW
Ingredients:
8 cups cabbage, finely chopped (or two bags pre-shredded coleslaw mix)
1/4 cup carrots, shredded
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
Combine the chopped cabbage and shredded carrots in a large bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, white vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, sea salt, cayenne pepper, and milk. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture. Refrigerate one hour. Toss and serve.
Your concoction, Gail, goes so well with my passion for salads! Thank you!

I love coleslaw, any way you serve it up (except watery). This looks crunchy and delicious.

I haven’t had KFC in forever, but the cole slaw was always a favorite. This, no doubt, is better.
