Easy Copycat KFC Green Bean Recipe Guide
KFC Green Bean Recipe made at home with tender beans, simple seasonings, and classic restaurant-style taste.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds green beans trimmed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup yellow onion finely chopped
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Prep The Beans
- Rinse the green beans and trim the ends. Cut longer beans in half for even cooking.
Start The Base
- Set a saucepan over medium heat. Add butter and let it melt. Stir in the onions and cook until soft and lightly golden.
Add Beans And Water
- Place the green beans into the saucepan. Pour in the water, then add salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Slow Cook For Texture
- Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then lower the heat. Let the beans simmer uncovered. Stir now and then so the seasonings coat every bean.
Finish And Taste
- Cook until the liquid reduces and the beans turn tender with a soft bite, close to what you expect from Green Beans KFC. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve Warm
- Spoon the beans into a bowl and serve as a classic side dish.
