Delicious Copycat KFC Coleslaw recipe – this coleslaw is the perfect side dish to every barbecue and it’s great to bring to pot lucks and other get-togethers.
Does anyone else remember the KFC Buffets?? I remember going to the KFC buffet during high school and it was like heaven. My mom would take me there after a volleyball game or maybe a track meet and I would eat ridiculous amounts of food. Now that I think about it, I wonder if I was the reason they stopped the buffet??
Food for thought…
I think this is about the time that my love affair with their coleslaw began. It’s completely ruined me for all other coleslaw. Oh, I’ve tried other coleslaw – of course! But it just isn’t the same. So sweet and a little bit tangy – coleslaw perfection!
