When it comes to creamy coleslaw: Kentucky Fried Chicken's Coleslaw RULES, REIGNS and ROCKS. As much for the texture as for flavor -- KFC has Got it Right. A mouthful of Heavenly Mush. After extensive research and trials in the kitchen, this is about as close as it gets. It's addictive -- And KFC always leaves you wanting more. Hope this has the same effect.
