This easy-to-follow copycat KFC Coleslaw recipe whips together in just a few minutes and tastes just like the original.

KFC coleslaw is one of our favorite dishes to recreate at home. The tangy-sweet flavor of the dressing paired with crunchy cabbage and carrots is a tasty treat in our home. We love pairing it with our Air Fryer Fried Chicken Drumsticks for a healthier version of KFC. When we make this meal we really feel like we are eating the real deal every single time.
How to make KFC Coleslaw Recipe
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, milk, buttermilk, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, onion powder, & pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Place coleslaw mix into the bowl and mix well, completely coating the cabbage mixture.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes or longer before serving.
Tips Tricks and FAQS
- If you find yourself buying buttermilk for only a few recipes like this and don’t know what to do with the rest you can just keep buttermilk powder on hand. It lasts a really long time and you can use it when needed by mixing it with water.
- The recipe needs to chill for at least 30 minutes, but if you have the time you want it to chill for at least 4 hours, closer to 8 if possible. This allows the flavors to mix together.
- If you want a sweeter flavor use miracle whip instead of mayonnaise.
- I use white vinegar and love it, but old employees sear that they only use tarragon vinegar.
Storage
Fridge
This recipe will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container. Be sure to mix it prior to serving each time.
Make-Ahead
This is the perfect side to make ahead because the longer it sits in the fridge the more the flavors will mix together. I love to make this in the morning and cover and place it in the fridge until dinnertime. You can easily make it the night before also.
