On the KFC website, the difference to this recipe is 1-1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper. Also to leave it 3-4 days.
I've made it & tasted like it should, but it is a heap. I did cheat & use a bean frozen mix, but was ages ago & the memories a bit faded. If you go to www.kfc.com you'll find some other recipes there - I guess of discontinued lines which people still ask about (who knows their reasoning).

I've seen this recipe over the years.What are wax beans ! What would be the substitute!

Wax beans are what we used to call butter beans, thin yellow long beans. Butter beans have changed over the years and I don't even recognise what they are (then again, that's not unusual for me). I think that was why I went for the frozen bean mix, as it had what I wanted in it. I just can't remember what butter beans have changed to.
I buy cans of cooked beans for this. I try and keep 2 cans in the fridge, all the time. Dressing.Simmer, 1 1/4 cups of malt vinegar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of water, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp soy sauce, pepper to taste. cool. Pour over drained beans, try and leave the salad in the fridge a while before using.

Thanks for that,I remember eating butter (yellow) beans as a child.Do you think cannellini beans are also referred to as butter beans nowadays! Are wax beans available in NZ!

Grow them! I have seen them at Farmer's markets, I love them. Much nicer than the hard green ones!
Hey chearlieb, all good, been cruising along for awhile now, but these last few weeks have been full on, rather tired at the moment
