Kentucky Fried Chicken isn’t the same restaurant from the 1970s that dominated chicken sales and the airwaves with The Colonel pitching his famous 11 herbs and spices chicken. But the rebranded KFC is making a comeback. In fact, if you haven’t been in one in a while, you’ll be surprised to be greeted with a “welcome back” from the dutiful KFC employee. It’s no “my pleasure” but it’s a start.

One thing KFC has over many other chicken spots is their coleslaw. People will go out of their way to get their hands on that patented flavor — a tangy punch that cools you down on a warm summer day. Can we make perfect KFC coleslaw? You bet we can. And it’s so simple you’ll be surprised.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 8 cups finely chopped cabbage (approx. 1 head)
• 1/4 cup shredded carrot (1 medium carrot)
• 2 tablespoons minced onion

How to Make It
* Be sure cabbage and carrots are chopped into very fine pieces (a little bigger than rice)
* Combine the mayonnaise, sugar, milk, buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper in large bowl. Beat until smooth
* Add cabbage, carrots, and onions. Mix well.
* Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, if you let it sit over night it’s even better
