You’ve got to admit that KFC coleslaw is a special type of coleslaw. It doesn’t taste the same as the coleslaw you get in restaurants or at your grandma’s house. The unique flavor is shrouded in mystery, as KFC doesn’t give its recipes away! However, you can try to make something like it with our help.
This KFC coleslaw recipe is very easy to make. The only downside is that you have to refrigerate it for a few hours before serving. If you’re planning a barbecue or making fried chicken and want some coleslaw to go with it, start on the salad early on. You can serve it before it’s been refrigerated, but it won’t be nearly as good!
