- Although this is a copycat recipe, it is the best homemade coleslaw! In fact, it is the only kind of coleslaw I will eat! Tastes exactly like the real deal!
This is a Todd Wilbur recipe from one of his 'Top Secret Recipes' books. One of the few recipes of his that actually tastes like the real thing.
What you'll need:
1 medium head of cabbage
1 carrot
2 Tbsp minced fresh onion
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
2-1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1-1/2 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
In a food processor or by hand, finely chop cabbage and carrot. Combine together in a large bowl. Set aside.
Combine rest of ingredients in a separate bowl until well mixed. Pour over cabbage and carrot mixture. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least overnight to let flavors meld and come together. Serve cold at your next barbeque! Enjoy! - Jak na to + styl
Hi Todd. As a California native, I grew up having KFC and I've always believed they had the best coleslaw on earth! Now that I've been living in London, England for the past 12 yrs, I've not been able to replicate that delicious coleslaw until stumbling upon your video today. I made it and I have to say, after taking that first spoonful, you've managed to spark nostalgic memories, but in a good way. I genuinely thank you from the bottom of heart. May you and your family are doing well. 😊
I use a little bit of wasabi , it's great!
@@WOODR52 yes, I can already taste that. It would definitely have a nice spicy zing to it. 👍
this was 3 years ago and the video is 11 years ago but this is the sweetest comment ive ever seen ITS SO WHOLESOME
@@rainr6 cheers!
My sentiments are still the same. 😊
I made your recipe for my mom and me when she was 90, she is 93 now, I have made this several times.with small variations... Thanks once again -
Sweet. God bless
how many will this serve?
God bless your mom with good health 🙏🏼💞
I just saw your comment from 3 years ago
I am making this again for my mom, she is 95 now, loves it... just thought i would let you know,....
Who else in 2020 and a craving for homemade kfc salad
Me! In fact I bought a small cabbage just the other day.
I chop the veggies with a grater or my borner mandoline or a cleaver, depending on how much slaw I'm making.
You don’t wash the cabbage first????
😆... my father. It came out awesome. I hope he likes it.
My mom made it the best, so I think making some .
@@cynthiasammy3668 I peel and discard the outermost leaves. If you wash, you really need to use a spinner to get it as dry as possible.
This coleslaw recipe is by far the best I have ever tasted! Even better than kfc's! Thank you for the video I have saved much more money and found a great way to eat raw veggies. Keep it up buddy!
Anna Ulu Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Crouton Crackerjacks thank you I love tile vid :D
dude you used too much sugar. I got a better recipe. You should use that much sugar for a gallon of cole slaw.
Anna Ulu I
Anna Ulu a
Hope you enjoy!
This recipe is spot-on, nearly identical. Hats of to you my friend!
If you are missing buttermilk, just add the same amount of milk with a splash of viniger that you mixed before adding
Thank you for this tip on buttermilk. For such a tiny amt, i don't want to buy a qt and then toss it out after sitting in my fridge for weeks!!!
@@sue2019 It's 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to make a cup total. It works well, even in buttermilk biscuits.
Tried the recipe with buttermilk and without buttermilk using this method because I didn't have any buttermilk...you can't tell a difference at all! Thank you
@@sue2019 use it to make creme fraiche. Some heavy cream and some buttermilk let sit out in a mason jar @room temp for 24hrs, then in the fridge.
Thanks so much for taking the time for making this video. I'm glad that after 6 years, people are still watching it!
Damn, this recipe tastes ridiculously close to the real thing. The best part was an entire head of cabbage cost me about as much as a little cup of coleslaw at KFC.
Its missing finely chopped Sweet Green Peppers - appx 1/4 cup per gallon.
This video is for those who want to learn not for those who want to buy. N quantity can be adjusted accordingly, if person is sensible enough 😜😜
Absolutely right👍
Small lauded
Sure, you can use chocolate milk! You can also use lettuce instead of cabbage and you can also use Italian dressing for the mayo. I'm sure it won't change the taste at all! ;-) Enjoy!
I cant fins buttermilk in my place..is it ok without buttermilk
@@tinnaalice8896 make your own buttermilk. There’s many methods. I prefer to add 1/4 cup of water and 3/4 cup of sour cream to make 1 cup of buttermilk
I can't tell if you're being serious or not
@@AhsanKhan1998 they're not being serious dw
Just made this, and it turned out great!! Thank you so much for the recipe! I didn’t have butter milk so I used yogurt thinned with water. (Incase anyone was looking for a easy buttermilk substitute)
You can also just add the vinegar to the milk a little before and it thickens to a buttermilk
THANK YOU BRO, MY MOM LOVES THIS RECIPE, SHE IS 90, SHE LOVED THIS RECIPE, AND SO DID I.
Richard Woods I saw your other comment 3 years from now
Same
Why would you call me a liar? Today my mom is 96 years old..july 21 2021...your reply was simply mean.
i just made it! it tastes great!! i couldnt even resist waiting so i ate some before i put it in the refrigerator. Thanks man!
Dania Abdul Rahman
I made this today and my husband and I loved it! It made so much that I'll be giving some away with a reference to your video. Thanks for sharing :)
OMG You're an angel!!

Fuck coleslaw
This recipe is so simple and tastes absolutely amazing!!!
Thanks for posting this video. KFC coleslaw was always my favorite. I would go buy it from KFC even when I wasn't serving chicken. This recipe tastes exactly the same to me. KUDOS.
I made this and tasted perfect.Good recipe,loved it.
Just made it and it is AWESOME!!! THANKS A LOT!!!
KFC’s coleslaw is DEFINITELY the Gold Standard of the BEST restaurant coleslaw around, bar none!! (I measure everyone else’s to theirs!!). 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
This was the best homemade coleslaw ... Just loved it to the core. Thank You So Much💛💛
Loooove your channel! Enjoying all the recepies, thanks for sharing the knowledge 👍
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe... I made this and loved it.
Thank you soooooo much for the video. I want to make this all along but can not find a good recipe. Thiis one has top it. Thanks again . Expecting some more good ones
I made this yesterday and ate it today it was perfect!! Thank you so much! I love KFC Cole slaw and now I know how to make it! :)
This recipe is right on point. I can taste no difference at all between KFC and this coleslaw. And to boot it's cheap and easy to make. Great Job!
I just made this following your instructions though I didn't use the exact same amounts, I did it by heart and it turned out delicious. Thanks, great recipe!
Honestly this is one of the hands down best recipes there are for cole slaw. I've been making this for years at every major event and it's always a hit. I highly recommend this recipe for anyone who is a Cole slaw fan.
I recently made this slaw and it was wonderful!! love by the whole family. Thanks for the recipe.
I've always wanted to know how to make mines taste like KFC's. I think they make the BEST tasting coleslaw and I'm definitely not a fast food person. Thank you for cracking the recipe.
this video is a scam, it actually tastes better then kfc
I always come back to this video for your recipe to make this delicious coleslaw. Thank you!
Thanks for the recipe! I'm always cautious about trying recipes I find online because some just turn out awful, but I'm glad I tried this. It was delicious and it makes sooooo much of it! Thanks again
Thank you so much !! you saved my Superbowl party . I made some pulled pork sandwiches . but I didn't know how to make the coleslaw to serve it with . I appreciate it.
Oh heck yeah! Pulled pork sandwiches and coleslaw is the best! In fact, after living in eastern North Carolina for 20 years I found the best sandwich ever. It was pulled pork on a bun with coleslaw put right on top of the meat. I can hear Andy Griffith right now, "Mmmm mmmm, good!"
Excellent recipe for mimicking KFC's version. I tried this a few days ago and, so far, it is the best, especially if it is prepared the day before and allowed to marinate in the refrigerator. That is a very important step. As far as comments about how finely chopped everything is... the title says it all... KFC. It's the way they do it! Thumbs ups!!
Saw this years ago, only got around to trying it now, and man was it awesome. Best coleslaw I've ever had, thanks a lot for the recipe
Just want to thank u for sharing! I was on here looking for a coleslaw recipe and settled for yours, and so happy I did cause it was a winner. I had to make a little adjustment and use coconut milk cause that’s all I had but it came out fantastic. Thank u so much!
Just wanted to let you know that I finally tried your recipe yesterday. Measurements are spot on! Tastes way better than KFC. Had to adjust mayo/milk/buttermilk ratio, but that's due to cabbage size. Thanks for the recipe!
wow, some people are so rude.. I can't believe the nerve of some people. If you don't like something that's fine but there is no need to bash someone for posting a video on how they make coleslaw. Sounds like a bunch of jr. high bullies grew up to be adult bullshit talkers.. Grow up people..... and by the way this is a good recipe!
Except the cabbage is too fine, needs to be a little more corse
tonya bullard has
so true some people are idiots !
tonya bullard i have not tried this recipe yet, but it looks good, it looks like kfc slaw, i'm from appx. 40 miles east of the original kfc in corbin, ky. And they have always had great slaw, and chix, but i mostly cook at home now, but anyway, i agree with you, if someone takes the time to give and post a recipe, you don't have to bash them if you don't like it i mean even if you don't like it you could just give it a thumbs down and reply ain't my cup of tea or something , no need to be rude. I always figured if i pay for my food, i will eat it the way i want, i do not care much for ketchup but hey if you like it on something put it on and eat it, to many food nazi's out there, and i will definitely eat it the way i want if i make it at my home, and i keep ketchup in the fridge for guests or family, lotta hate in this world anymore, seriously folks, over a sidedish of coleslaw ? Sad
Thanks Mom.
I made this coleslaw for my husband that compares every coleslaw he tries with KFC coleslaw and he LOVED it!! He could not wait for it to sit for an hour let alone two so I believe that is why the onion taste was a bit strong. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It will be my go to every time I want to make coleslaw!
Looks so good!!! I'm definitely gonna try it!!! Thank you for sharing
I really have to try this! I always thought it needed mustard. Thanks will definitely try it your way.
This gave be an opportunity to use my 10 year old (never used) food processor. It was a bit messy and a challenge to clean it, but the slaw turned out great. Thanks!
I'd have to say that I just tried this recipe tonight and it was divine!!!! Thank you so much. Definitely making it again.
It’s been years since I’ve had KFC’s coleslaw. After reading quite a few comments I’m eager to make this recipe. I’ve never made coleslaw before but I buy it in the grocery store, but I love to make things from scratch for so many reasons, so this recipe is going on my shopping list. Thank you!
I just made this and it is delicious. As good or better than KFC and so much cheaper. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it.
If you don't have a food processor,then you can cut the cabbage into two & scrape it with a potato peeler.
arshie jalees Oh hope you get a food processor soon! They are so helpful and easy to clean, just be careful, blades are SHARP! I started with a four cup just to do onions.
Thanks for the easy and nice recipe. Made it a few times already for a party and my guests loved it !
This IS the best cole slaw recipe I've ever tasted ~~!!~~ Thanks SO much for sharing.
Love this type of cole slaw! Just hate the kind that uses big old nasty shreds of cabbage rather than small minced type. Thanks for posting.
Ikr :D
Someone makes a bagged coleslaw called southern that is diced, really nice flavor and crunch.
Thank you so much for this! I've made this for the second time now. I was so sad when KFC changed their coleslaw, that's what I always looked forward to when I went. I don't even go KFC anymore ever since I found out but now I can enjoy it at home for a fraction of the price 😌
Thank you! I’m so addicted to this recipe!
have tried it and it is perfect.. i wouldn't change a thing about this recipe.. can't really believe that i just said that, but yeah it is that good.. hats off to the chef ;)
I have made this coleslaw multiple times for my family and they all love it! I have to say that this recipe for coleslaw is better tasting than kfcs coleslaw
Glad you and your family enjoy!!
EXCELLENT recipe!!!!! Thank you! It was so good and spot on I ate half of it before waiting over night.
Thank you for the recipe. I made this yesterday and it was the best coleslaw
I ever ate in my life!!!
I made my broccoli cauliflower salad for a dinner gathering with your slaw dressing omg so dam good I couldn't stop eating it so now I got to go make another batch love it
OHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOODNESS, IT'S FABULOUS!!! I tried it first for just me to see if I liked it to take to a family gathering tomorrow for at least 20 people. I knew if I didn't like it, I surely wasn't gonna make it to take. I made my batch a few days ago and I even had some for breakfast one of the mornings! Thank you for posting this - I've always loved coleslaw and now I'll probably make it so much, I'll get tired of it!!! :-D
Thank You For sharing this recipe !!! My Husband LOVES It !!! AND SO DO I :)
Thank you so much for sharing this super tasty recipe.
It's amazing.
Thanks for the recipe!
Thank You For the recipe
I'm addicted to KFC coleslaw
and now i have the right solution
Thanks again! You always make the best dishes! Blessings!
Just made it and it's amazing. Added beets for the hell of it too since I love eastern slavic food.
That sounds delish to a beet-a-holic. I'll have to try it soon.
love love love 💚 You never disappoint me 😊 The best by far yummo yummy for my tummy 😍
I tried a LOT of coleslow recipes before, but this one is absolutely the best ... & the tips he talked about are very important... You have to let it rest, it'll taste nothing like when served immediately.
Thank you for the recipe :)
Thank you. I’ve been using your recipe for like a year now. I’m sooo addicted❤️
I like this coleslaw better than KFC's. Every time I make this recipe, people are shocked by the deliciousness. This is my go to coleslaw recipe. Will never make it any other way! Also, definitely make this the night before serving. Tastes so much better.
Same here, my favorite recipe. I like my coleslaw finely chopped, tangy, and creamy.
+Bowie Gurrl did you change anything in the recipe or did everything the same way? wanna try this for my birthday party, would be bad if it isnt that good :)
Bowie Gurrlmmķmmĺo.
Nena Del Carmn hy
I love most of your recipes so I will add this one to the list of recipes to make. Thank you for all the hard work you put into the videos
This looks sooo good! Definitely going to make it! Thanks, love your videos :)!!!
it's been literally years since i had KFC cole slaw (I don't eat 'fast food' these days), but this is a quick, easy recipe. made this with some pre-shredded cabbage and carrots. fantastic! thanks for sharing it.
Tried it and it was Amazing. This is going to be my Coleslaw reciepe from now on A++++
If you add vinegar to the milk
It will turn to butter milk
So no need add extra butter milk
Just saying 🤷♀️
Oh thanku so much ...was wondering how can i have butter milk
Thank you that help me to try this recipe 🤗
TLC Lady thank you I was wondering too. I don’t keep buttermilk on hand.
They also make powdered buttermilk... for your cupboard, Cuz who needs a whole container~ RIGHT!
@@leahrowe847 biscuits use butter milk for them.🤣😆
Love your recipes and the way you talk us through each recipe. I know we will use your expertise a lot. My husband worked at King's Food Host years ago and was very happy to get a Cheese Frenchie Recipe. He remembers Tuna Frenchie's as well. Thank's again. Janet Power
Tried the recipe as soon as I found it. Very tasty and easy to do. I will enjoy this recipe for many years to come. Thank You
Omg, I made this tonight and it was amazing. I used brussel sprouts instead of cabbage (I need to use them up) and it was great the only thing I was missing was fried chicken. Thanks!
Hats off :D
thanks alot !!
your recipe is the best one I have found and tried , it is my favorite and I have been making it ever since !!! Thank you so much !! We love it !!
Thanks man, I was just looking for a really good coleslaw recipe and came across this one on CZcams. This one is the best tasting one I've come across! Thanks again!
I have to admit that your recipe is the closest thing to the KFC recipe. I did doubt it after trying other videos that claimed they had the original recipe and didnt even come close. They even claimed they worked for KFC and made it daily.
But, my hats off to you Sir! Best recipe ever. I went and added some crushed pineapple and gave it that little kick it needed.
Even kids were eating it.
Howard Kim L
Pineapple in coleslaw sounds interesting. The last coleslaw I made, I added chop't little cutie oranges. It was pretty good... something a little different.
I made this...Needless to say it didn't last long at all! Absolutely delicious and thank you for sharing such a yummy slaw!
WOW!! Ahora sí podré hacer bien este dip o ensalada!! Gracias !! Eres genial!!
this is the best coleslaw i have ever had...excellent job
I like the cabbage not so finely chopped, but it looks good, will try it soon.
This recipe is absolutely amazing. Thank you
Tried the recipe just today, and the result was delicious. Thanks
Damn great job! Got me just about coming through my phone screen to take a bite or two
It's a wow recipe, all must try at least once n then forget KFC stuff.thnku so much for sharing
I agree best recipe, tastes awesome thanks for sharing!
Just made it today.. hands down the best coleslaw ever!!!!! Thank you soo much for sharing!!
I was a chef and for years I tried to copy KFC's recipe for coleslaw. I was always looking for "something" that was missing and it always alluded me. It was many years after I left the kitchens before I found the secret ingredient that your recipe is missing. Horseradish. KFC's creamy dressing has a touch of horseradish in it which gives it that tang. Just a pinch to your recipe and viola!!
Nope, not horseradish.......You need to search a little more...
I didnt scroll down far enough. I asked about horseradish, cuz I taste it in there. Buckaroo says no? Is it the lemon that gives it a horsey taste?
Matthew Clark
Try TARRAGON vinegar ....:) :) :)
wilbor69 - actually, it's the core of the cabbage that tastes like horseradish. KFC uses the core in their recipe.
@@kariejo4614
Ahhhh... that makes sense. Of Course KFC is not going to throw away the cabbage core if they can use it.
And you're right. Cabbage core is a little hot kind of like horseradish.👍 thanks for your comment. I will definitely try it next time.
I was wondering if this dressing is good for the macaroni salad also, or is the macaroni salad the same stuff you can get at the deli or walmart??? Thank you for taking the time to share all of these great recipes.
It would probably end up rather sweet. Crouton Crackerjack has this recipe as a comparison.
