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!

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

I’ve been known to eat the entire family meal coleslaw by myself. Hands off people! No shame here. None. Now of course I can’t always make it over to KFC and making it at home is the next best thing. It’s easy too! Now I’m going to tell you the coleslaw secret: You have to let it chill for at least 2 hours. The longer the better. This stuff just gets better by the day.

This coleslaw is the perfect side dish for almost any sandwich and is amazing with pulled pork. I made this coleslaw to accompany our Spicy Pulled Pork Popper Sandwiches and it was divine!

When you first combine the ingredients you’re going to start doubting me. Don’t. It’s going to look a lot “dryer” thank KFC coleslaw at first. Let it chill and then you’ll see. Trust me.
