Sausage & Egg McMuffin
After the burger giant tweeted its McMuffin recipe, only four ingredients are now standing between you and your favorite fast food breakfast. To make it truly drive-thru worthy, you’ll need a metal ring to fry perfectly circular egg patties.

Big Mac
The world’s most popular hamburger is handmade and even more delicious. Just stack the ingredients in the correct order and don’t forget the special sauce. Don’t be afraid to add other ingredients, like tomatoes or grilled onions, to improve on a classic.

special sauce
There’s no point trying to recreate a Big Mac at home without the classic sauce. This recipe adds pickle relish, mustard, paprika, onion, garlic powder, and other seasonings to the mayonnaise base.

french fries
Perhaps the only fast food item more popular than the Big Mac are the golden fries that come with it. Reproducing the basic yet unique texture and flavor of McDonald’s fries requires special attention to the thickness of the shoestrings and the heat of the cooking oil.

chicken mcnuggets
Although McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets are loved by many, they have been criticized for their use of preservatives and processed meat. Enjoy a flavor that eliminates those concerns by using bite-sized chicken breasts and simple breadcrumbs mixed with flour, eggs, and seasonings (you can omit the MSG).

egg mcmuffin
McDonald’s original breakfast sandwich requires just four basic ingredients and is just as easy to make at home as it is to buy at the drive-thru. This also includes perfectly circular egg patties.

Sichuan sauce
McDonald’s Szechuan Dipping Sauce, originally released to coincide with the Disney movie “Mulan,” was revived for a day a few years ago after it appeared in the popular adult cartoon “Rick and Morty.” The lengths fans walked to get their hands on the sauce was legendary, but it quickly sold out. Now I have no choice but to make it myself.
