It’s even better the next day!\nIf you’ve been to Kentucky Fried Chicken, chances are good that you’ve tasted their famous coleslaw. As a side dish for a chicken dinner or barbecue, it doesn’t get much better than a creamy crunchy slaw and KFC’s does theirs just right. \nWith summer weather arriving, I’m already planning ahead for all those picnics and barbecues on the horizon! Nothing goes better with a leg of fried chicken or a big plate of BBQ like a side of homemade coleslaw. \nLots of recipes have circulated over the years claiming to be the authentic KFC coleslaw copycat recipe. The one I’m sharing today, though, is by far the best! It tastes just like the slaw you love with your fried chicken order, all tossed with a creamy tangy dressing.\nBest of all?\nThis coleslaw recipe is super easy!\nThe most effort you’ll put into making KFC Coleslaw is chopping the cabbage. Other than the effort it takes to resist trying a bite before it’s had a chance to marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours, of course! \nKFC Coleslaw Copycat Recipe\nMade entirely from scratch, this easy coleslaw will be the perfect side dish for all your summer barbecues and picnics. Instead of making a trip to a Kentucky Fried Chicken and paying for such an easy slaw, stay home and make it yourself for pennies. \nI use green cabbage for this slaw because I wanted to mimic the KFC coleslaw as closely as possible. You also can’t beat the price! If you prefer, I’m sure red cabbage (or a mix or both) would be delicious here as well. \nWhile you can simply chop your cabbage, if you have a food processor, it really helps give that coleslaw texture you get at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I first rough chop my cabbage, then just pulse it in the food processor a few times. Works like a charm. That said, if you don’t have a food processor, no worries, just chop it as finely as you like.\nKFC Coleslaw Dressing\nWhat really makes this coleslaw stand out is the creamy dressing. Made with real buttermilk, the dressing gets a tangy kick from a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. \nFor years I thought I disliked coleslaw because I wasn’t a fan of the dressings. They were either too heavy on the mayonnaise or too sweet for my taste. So I always skipped the coleslaw and brought\nPasta Salad\nto outdoor potlucks instead. \n This homemade coleslaw recipe is SO much better than the ones I was trying before! It’s full of creamy buttermilk flavor with just the right amount of sweetness to balance things out. While I’ll still bring my share of pasta salads to my summer potlucks, I might have to start mixing things up by showing up with copycat KFC coleslaw instead! \nMake this coleslaw for your next picnic or chicken dinner along with other favorites like\nMacaroni and Cheese\nand\nJiffy Cornbread\nor\nEasy Homemade Dinner Rolls\n, and you’ll have a perfect meal. Don’t forget the\nCrockpot Baked Beans\n,\nMashed Potatoes\n,\nButtermilk Biscuits\n,\nAmbrosia Fruit Salad\nand\nCreamed Corn\n, too!

It’s even better the next day\\!\n\nIf you’ve been to Kentucky Fried Chicken, chances are good that you’ve tasted their famous coleslaw. As a side dish for a chicken dinner or barbecue, it doesn’t get much better than a creamy crunchy slaw and KFC’s does theirs just right.\n\nWith summer weather arriving, I’m already planning ahead for all those picnics and barbecues on the horizon! Nothing goes better with a leg of fried chicken or a big plate of BBQ like a side of homemade coleslaw.\n\nLots of recipes have circulated over the years claiming to be the authentic KFC coleslaw copycat recipe. The one I’m sharing today, though, is by far the best! It tastes just like the slaw you love with your fried chicken order, all tossed with a creamy tangy dressing.\n\n![Bowl of KFC Coleslaw Recipe in a blue bowl with a yellow background](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/kfc-coleslaw-2.jpg)\n\nBest of all? **This coleslaw recipe is super easy\\!**\n\nThe most effort you’ll put into making KFC Coleslaw is chopping the cabbage. Other than the effort it takes to resist trying a bite before it’s had a chance to marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours, of course\\!\n\n### KFC Coleslaw Copycat Recipe\nMade entirely from scratch, this easy coleslaw will be the perfect side dish for all your summer barbecues and picnics. Instead of making a trip to a Kentucky Fried Chicken and paying for such an easy slaw, stay home and make it yourself for pennies.\n\nI use green cabbage for this slaw because I wanted to mimic the KFC coleslaw as closely as possible. You also can’t beat the price! If you prefer, I’m sure red cabbage (or a mix or both) would be delicious here as well.\n\n![Food processor chopping cabbage for a KFC coleslaw copycat recipe](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/kfc-coleslaw-10.jpg)\n\nWhile you can simply chop your cabbage, if you have a food processor, it really helps give that coleslaw texture you get at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I first rough chop my cabbage, then just pulse it in the food processor a few times. Works like a charm. That said, if you don’t have a food processor, no worries, just chop it as finely as you like.\n\n![Bowl with cabbage and carrots to make KFC coleslaw at home](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/kfc-coleslaw-11.jpg)\n\n### KFC Coleslaw Dressing\nWhat really makes this coleslaw stand out is the creamy dressing. Made with real buttermilk, the dressing gets a tangy kick from a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.\n\nFor years I thought I disliked coleslaw because I wasn’t a fan of the dressings. They were either too heavy on the mayonnaise or too sweet for my taste. So I always skipped the coleslaw and brought [Pasta Salad](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/easy-pasta-salad\/) to outdoor potlucks instead.\n\n![Ingredients to make KFC Coleslaw](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/kfc-coleslaw-12.jpg)\n\nThis homemade coleslaw recipe is SO much better than the ones I was trying before! It’s full of creamy buttermilk flavor with just the right amount of sweetness to balance things out. While I’ll still bring my share of pasta salads to my summer potlucks, I might have to start mixing things up by showing up with copycat KFC coleslaw instead\\!\n\n![KFC Coleslaw dressing in a bowl](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/kfc-coleslaw-14.jpg)\n\nMake this coleslaw for your next picnic or chicken dinner along with other favorites like [Macaroni and Cheese](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/easy-macaroni-and-cheese\/) and [Jiffy Cornbread](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/jiffy-cornbread\/) or [Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls](https:\/\/www.lovefromtheoven.com\/dinner-rolls\/), and you’ll have a perfect meal.

Learn how to make it at home with this KFC Coleslaw Copycat Recipe\! Just like the delicious coleslaw served at your favorite fried chicken restaurant\! ![Blue bowl holding KFC Coleslaw Copycat Recipe with a green background](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-6.jpg) ## Reasons To Make This Coleslaw: - It tastes JUST like the kind you get at KFC\! - This is a perfect summer side dish, it’s great for potlucks, BBQs and picnics. - Quick and easy, you can whip this coleslaw up in a matter of minutes… yes, minutes\! - You can easily make this the day before you need it. It’s even better the next day\! ## KFC Coleslaw If you’ve been to Kentucky Fried Chicken, chances are good that you’ve tasted their famous coleslaw. As a side dish for a chicken dinner or barbecue, it doesn’t get much better than a creamy crunchy slaw and KFC’s does theirs just right. With summer weather arriving, I’m already planning ahead for all those picnics and barbecues on the horizon! Nothing goes better with a leg of fried chicken or a big plate of BBQ like a side of homemade coleslaw. Lots of recipes have circulated over the years claiming to be the authentic KFC coleslaw copycat recipe. The one I’m sharing today, though, is by far the best! It tastes just like the slaw you love with your fried chicken order, all tossed with a creamy tangy dressing. ![Bowl of KFC Coleslaw Recipe in a blue bowl with a yellow background](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-2.jpg) Best of all? This coleslaw recipe is super easy\! The most effort you’ll put into making KFC Coleslaw is chopping the cabbage. Other than the effort it takes to resist trying a bite before it’s had a chance to marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours, of course\! ### KFC Coleslaw Copycat Recipe Made entirely from scratch, this easy coleslaw will be the perfect side dish for all your summer barbecues and picnics. Instead of making a trip to a Kentucky Fried Chicken and paying for such an easy slaw, stay home and make it yourself for pennies. I use green cabbage for this slaw because I wanted to mimic the KFC coleslaw as closely as possible. You also can’t beat the price! If you prefer, I’m sure red cabbage (or a mix or both) would be delicious here as well. ![Food processor chopping cabbage for a KFC coleslaw copycat recipe](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-10.jpg) While you can simply chop your cabbage, if you have a food processor, it really helps give that coleslaw texture you get at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I first rough chop my cabbage, then just pulse it in the food processor a few times. Works like a charm. That said, if you don’t have a food processor, no worries, just chop it as finely as you like. ![Bowl with cabbage and carrots to make KFC coleslaw at home](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-11.jpg) ### KFC Coleslaw Dressing What really makes this coleslaw stand out is the creamy dressing. Made with real buttermilk, the dressing gets a tangy kick from a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. For years I thought I disliked coleslaw because I wasn’t a fan of the dressings. They were either too heavy on the mayonnaise or too sweet for my taste. So I always skipped the coleslaw and brought [Pasta Salad](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/easy-pasta-salad/) to outdoor potlucks instead. ![Ingredients to make KFC Coleslaw](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-12.jpg) This homemade coleslaw recipe is SO much better than the ones I was trying before! It’s full of creamy buttermilk flavor with just the right amount of sweetness to balance things out. While I’ll still bring my share of pasta salads to my summer potlucks, I might have to start mixing things up by showing up with copycat KFC coleslaw instead\! ![KFC Coleslaw dressing in a bowl](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-14.jpg) Make this coleslaw for your next picnic or chicken dinner along with other favorites like [Macaroni and Cheese](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/easy-macaroni-and-cheese/) and [Jiffy Cornbread](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/jiffy-cornbread/) or [Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/dinner-rolls/), and you’ll have a perfect meal.

Just like the delicious coleslaw served at your favorite fried chicken restaurant\! ![Blue bowl holding KFC Coleslaw Copycat Recipe with a green background](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-6.jpg) ## Reasons To Make This Coleslaw: - It tastes JUST like the kind you get at KFC\! - This is a perfect summer side dish, it’s great for potlucks, BBQs and picnics. - Quick and easy, you can whip this coleslaw up in a matter of minutes… yes, minutes\! - You can easily make this the day before you need it. It’s even better the next day\! If you’ve been to Kentucky Fried Chicken, chances are good that you’ve tasted their famous coleslaw. As a side dish for a chicken dinner or barbecue, it doesn’t get much better than a creamy crunchy slaw and KFC’s does theirs just right. With summer weather arriving, I’m already planning ahead for all those picnics and barbecues on the horizon! Nothing goes better with a leg of fried chicken or a big plate of BBQ like a side of homemade coleslaw. Lots of recipes have circulated over the years claiming to be the authentic KFC coleslaw copycat recipe. The one I’m sharing today, though, is by far the best! It tastes just like the slaw you love with your fried chicken order, all tossed with a creamy tangy dressing. ![Bowl of KFC Coleslaw Recipe in a blue bowl with a yellow background](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-2.jpg) Best of all? This coleslaw recipe is super easy\! The most effort you’ll put into making KFC Coleslaw is chopping the cabbage. Other than the effort it takes to resist trying a bite before it’s had a chance to marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours, of course\! ### KFC Coleslaw Copycat Recipe Made entirely from scratch, this easy coleslaw will be the perfect side dish for all your summer barbecues and picnics. Instead of making a trip to a Kentucky Fried Chicken and paying for such an easy slaw, stay home and make it yourself for pennies. I use green cabbage for this slaw because I wanted to mimic the KFC coleslaw as closely as possible. You also can’t beat the price! If you prefer, I’m sure red cabbage (or a mix or both) would be delicious here as well. ![Food processor chopping cabbage for a KFC coleslaw copycat recipe](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-10.jpg) While you can simply chop your cabbage, if you have a food processor, it really helps give that coleslaw texture you get at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I first rough chop my cabbage, then just pulse it in the food processor a few times. Works like a charm. That said, if you don’t have a food processor, no worries, just chop it as finely as you like. ![Bowl with cabbage and carrots to make KFC coleslaw at home](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-11.jpg) ### KFC Coleslaw Dressing What really makes this coleslaw stand out is the creamy dressing. Made with real buttermilk, the dressing gets a tangy kick from a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. For years I thought I disliked coleslaw because I wasn’t a fan of the dressings. They were either too heavy on the mayonnaise or too sweet for my taste. So I always skipped the coleslaw and brought [Pasta Salad](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/easy-pasta-salad/) to outdoor potlucks instead. ![Ingredients to make KFC Coleslaw](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-12.jpg) This homemade coleslaw recipe is SO much better than the ones I was trying before! It’s full of creamy buttermilk flavor with just the right amount of sweetness to balance things out. While I’ll still bring my share of pasta salads to my summer potlucks, I might have to start mixing things up by showing up with copycat KFC coleslaw instead\! ![KFC Coleslaw dressing in a bowl](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/kfc-coleslaw-14.jpg) Make this coleslaw for your next picnic or chicken dinner along with other favorites like [Macaroni and Cheese](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/easy-macaroni-and-cheese/) and [Jiffy Cornbread](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/jiffy-cornbread/) or [Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/dinner-rolls/), and you’ll have a perfect meal. Don’t forget the [Crockpot Baked Beans](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/crockpot-baked-beans/), [Mashed Potatoes](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/crock-pot-mashed-potatoes/), [Buttermilk Biscuits](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/buttermilk-biscuits/), [Ambrosia Fruit Salad](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/ambrosia-fruit-salad/) and [Creamed Corn](https://www.lovefromtheoven.com/crock-pot-creamed-corn/), too!
