- This recipe for KFC coleslaw tastes just like KFC, except I think it's even better! Refrigerate overnight for full flavor!
I discovered this recipe in about 2008 on a website run by Todd Wilbur. Since then this recipe has been copied many times but, according to Todd, it was his invention back in 1993!

INGREDIENTS
The Veggies:
8 cups of finely chopped cabbage (about 1 medium head of cabbage)
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot (2 medium carrots/3/4 cup of baby carrots)
2 tbsp minced onion
The Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sugar (I'm using Splenda)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
This recipe seems a little dry at first but once you allow it to chill (especially overnight) it is nice and juicy and the flavors are full and balanced!
Enjoy!

Well, today I've learned that I've been breaking down cabbage the hard way...
I just gave away my big food processor,smh why??? oh well
Thank you for the video and for sharing this recipe! I made a close variation to it last night. I tried it this evening on a BBQ pulled pork sandwich. Amazing!! I made mine a little more keto-friendly by adding erythritol/monk fruit sweetener to taste, vice using sugar; and I used some Greek yogurt instead of milk and buttermilk. Everything else was the same. This is the best batch of coleslaw I've ever made. Thank you again for sharing the recipe! Take care and be safe! 😊💖🙏
Hi Lisa…I’m SO pleased to hear about your minor alterations and terrific result!!! Great ideas. 😊 This is certainly perfect with/on a pulled pork sandwich. If you haven’t seen it already, may I recommend my Crockpot Pulled Pork recipe. It’s inexpensive if you want to feed a crowd, easy and delicious!!! This would also be great on my Pastrami Burger Bomb. Oh, Lisa…you’re making me hungry thinking about it! Enjoy!!!! - Deb
great video,I have seen about 10 all saying its KFC copycat,I think your recipe is the closest.thanks
Thanks so much, Jeanine!!! Enjoy!!! - Deb
Cole slaw is a traditional side dish for Midwestern fish fries. This recipe looks great!
Hi Julie. A fish fry sounds amazing and this coleslaw would be perfect with it. What kind of fish do you like to fry and do you batter or bread your fish? You’ve got my mouth watering at the prospect! - Deb
@@DebsKitchen I don't know what state you are in, but here, in Wisconsin, a Friday fish fry is very popular and perch is the most popular, but there are also Scandinavian fish boils that serve cod and potatoes with cole slaw and assorted sides, which is also traditional. Breading for perch or walleye can be either a corn meal-based or a batter-based one. I don't cook fish fry myself, just because the local restaurants and taverns do a much better job of it!
The thing I like about KFC coleslaw is it’s more finely chopped than most!
Welcome to my kitchen, Charles…I totally agree!!!! I’m not generally a big coleslaw fan for that very reason. Light use of a food processor so that you don’t chop the cabbage and other veggies so small that they become mush is what makes this recipe so quick to put together, rather than chopping it all by hand (which I used to do…and not make it very often 😉). And this is truly every bit as good as KFC. What would you serve it on the side with? - Deb
@@DebsKitchen since I am type2 diabetic I use ketogenic dieting so roast chicken or burger( no bun)
same here
I agree with your recipe except in Canada, KFC’s coleslaw has a bit of a peppery flavour that I copied with a 1/8 t horse radish POWDER, and used Miracle whip not mayo. Just FYI...
Hi Joanna…it’s great to meet you! I love that you figured out your own copycat recipe. 😃 Do you know if I can use prepared horseradish rather than powdered and, if so, what the ratio would be? I’d love to give your Canadian version a try!!! - Deb
Just made today and it’s great
Welcome to my kitchen, Pat…I’m delighted to meet you and even more delighted that you’ve made and enjoyed this slaw! It’s certainly a favorite at our house. What did you serve it with? Besides fried chicken, it’s also delicious with my Easy Ribs. I hope you’ll give them a try, too. Enjoy! - Deb
I like mine on a plain hotdog on a bun. Yum!
Welcome, Jenny…I’m very happy to meet you. Honestly, I never thought of that. I always have some “just in case” hot dogs in my freezer, so I’ll have to give this a try the next time I make slaw. Thanks for the idea!!! - Deb
I used this same recipe, but later noticed the recipes without buttermilk, milk, or lemon tasted closer to KFC. Plus I use apple cider vinegar. Just FYI.
Hi Terry! I’m glad that you found a recipe that you really enjoy. For my family, they keep asking for this one because they actually like it better than KFC…I’ll have to admit, I do, too! 😉- Deb
Good work madam
Welcome to my kitchen, Ayan, and thank you for your kind encouragement. Have you tried making this yet? If so, what did you serve it with? I love it in the summer months, especially, not only with fried chicken, but also with anything with BBQ sauce or grilled. It’s quite versatile as a side and always a huge hit!! - Deb
@@DebsKitchen my pleasure mam, I didn’t try it yet bc I’m far from my family now days but whoever I reach my home I would like to have this with broasted chicken wings, that’s gonna be so delicious, that’s for giving this is kind recipes we really need that & the main thing is I like it how to made your videos to so creative way and so hygienic way,, thanks a lot mam wish you for lot of likes and comments 😍🥰
I hope you will comment back after you serve it to your family with the broasted chicken…that combination sounds amazing!!! Thank you again for your kind words. If you like to serve desserts to your family, you might find something simple to make that they’ll love on my channel as well. Our next video coming out will be a mouthwatering Key Lime Pie. What kind of recipes/tips do you usually go online to find? - Deb
This is not like KFC cole slaw. The dressing has mayo, carrots, onions, sugar, TERRAGON vinegar, salt, white pepper, and horseradish. I pretty sure it's the horseradish that gives the KFC cole slaw it's signature taste. I had a neighbor back in the 70"s who had three KFC's and who made the cole slaw. She would never divulge the recipe of course, but she did say it has something you would never think of. Southernrs as the Colonel used horseradish in cole slaw, northerners do not think of this. Well, try adding some horseradish to your cole slaw sometime, I think it just brightens up the flavor!
Hi Carol, welcome to my kitchen! You’re absolutely right, this is NOT KFC coleslaw- but it is a copycat recipe of KFC Coleslaw, which may or may not have all of the same ingredients as the original.
Such is the nature of copycat recipes and why companies like KFC guard their recipes so carefully.
IMO, this recipe (not mine btw) is a VERY good approximation of KFC coleslaw and honestly, I (and my family) like it better. Your suggestion about horseradish is interesting and I’ll have to give that a try!
Could you use apple cider vinegar ?
It’s great to meet you, Priscilla…welcome to my kitchen! The answer to your question is “yes”!!! Just use the same amount of apple cider vinegar as the amount given for white vinegar in this recipe. The only difference you might notice is a slightly darker color to your coleslaw and perhaps a slightly mellower flavor. Go for it and I’d love to hear back how it turned out. Enjoy!!! - Deb
Amazing, thank you very much 😊 ❤ 🤍
Hi, Hani! I’m thrilled that you like it…you made my day!!! I love to have this with fried chicken, of course, but it also pairs great with my Easy Ribs or Crockpot Pulled Pork! What did you serve yours with? - Deb
just made fried chicken breasts french fries and cole slaw $3.oo a serving love the slaw juice on the fries.I'm not paying $50.oo for fast food ! 2024
Amen, Brother Dean!!! I’m totally with you there! No doubt your portions were also larger and the quality far better than what they sell as fast food now. Notably reduced portion size and quality on top of out of control pricing makes fast food a nonstarter for me. It’s just not worth it!!
Gotta admit, I’m a sucker for the slaw juice on fries, too! 😉 So glad you enjoyed it!!! - Deb
Must put some wodaaa
