The Secrets to Copycat KFC Coleslaw
There are a few secrets to the KFC Coleslaw recipe, which is why it’s so different then all of the other restaurant coleslaws.
The first one to mention is the use of Miracle Whip vs. regular mayonnaise. Miracle Whip is different from regular mayonnaise; it has about half the fat of mayonnaise. But, Miracle Sauce includes granulated sugar, paprika, and garlic powder.
The other main difference is the use of buttermilk in the coleslaw. While other coleslaw bases have just mayonnaise, the Kentucky Fried Chicken Coleslaw has both the Miracle Whip, milk, and buttermilk.
Another small difference, which you have ever eaten KFC coleslaw is that it’s almost shredded into small pieces. Rather than use the cabbage shredded, it’s diced into small pieces, resembling rice.
