Hey all!

Ever wonder how McDonalds managed to cook up that mouthwatering sauce or how KFC fried their chicken to perfection? Here are a few recipes which teach you how to cook their food, fast food.

Let's start with the Big Mac.

BIG MAC™ Special Sauce
Ingredients:
1/4 cup KRAFT Miracle Whip
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons,heaping, WISHBONE deluxe french salad dressing (the orange stuff)
1/2 Tablespoon HEINZ sweet relish
2 teaspooons, heaping, VLASIC dill pickle relish (Heinz dill relish also works)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried, minced onion
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon ketchup
1/8 teaspoon salt
Mix everything very well in a small container. There better be no streaks! Microwave 25 seconds, and stir
well again. Cover, and refrigerate at LEAST 1 hour before using.( to allow all of
the flavors to "meld". ) Makes nearly 1 cup...enough for about 8 Big Macs™.
Cooking your BIG MAC™
INGREDIENTS:
(this is a per sandwich recipe)
1 -regular sized sesame seed bun
1 -regular sized plain bun
2 -previously frozen regular beef patties
2 -tablespoons Big Mac sauce
2 -teaspoons reconstituted onions
1 -slice real American cheese
2 -hamburger pickle slices
1/4 Cup -shredded iceberg lettuce
COOKING:
Discard the crown half of the regular bun, retaining the heel. The cooking method for the Big Mac™ is
basically the same as the regular burgers, only the bun toasting method is slightly
different. In the Big Mac's case you toast the bottom (heel) first. Do this along with the extra
heel. (this will be your middle bun.)
Cook the two-all-beef-patties just like the regular burgers. After the bun parts are toasted, put 1
tablespoon of "Mac sauce" on each of the heels.(toasted side.) Then add 1/8 cup
shredded lettuce to each.On the true bottom bun, place one thin slice of American cheese on top of the
lettuce. On the extra "heel", the middle bun, place two pickle slices on top of the
lettuce. Toast the "crown" (top) of the bun also. When the meat patties are done, place them one at a time
on both prepared buns. Stack the middle bun on top of the bottom bun, and put
the crown on top.
For proper "aging", or "Q-ing", ...wrap the finished Big Mac® in a 12"x18" sheet of waxed
paper as follows:
1...Center the burger, right side up, on the waxed paper. Fold the "long" ends of the paper up over the
top. (It will resemble a tube with the burger in the center.)
2...Fold the two remaining ends underneath. Wrap snug, but don't squish it like the
regular burgers.
3...Let sit 5-8 minutes, allowing the flavors to "meld".
4...Microwave, still wrapped, 15 seconds on high.
....Enjoy an AWESOME Big Mac® Sandwich!​

Best Regards :grin:

McDonald's® Famous French Fries

Special Tools
Deep fryer
French Fry Cutter
(or patience for cutting potatoes)
Ingredients:
2 large Idaho russett potatoes
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons corn syrup
1½-2 cups hot water
6 cups Crisco® shortening
1/4 cup beef lard (or save the fat from previously cooked burgers)
salt
Preparing your french fries
Peel the potatoes. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, and hot water. Make sure the sugar is
dissolved. Using a french fry slicer, cut the peeled
potatoes into shoestrings. The potatoes should be 1/4" x 1/4" in thickness, and about 4" to 6" long. (You
can do this with a knife, but it is alot of work)
Place the shoestringed potatoes into the bowl of sugar-water, and refrigerate. Let them soak about 30
minutes.
While they're soaking, pack the shortening into the deep fryer. Crank up the temperature to "full". The
shortening has to pre-heat for a very long time. It will
eventually liquify. After it has liquified and is at least 375°, drain the potatoes and dump them into the fryer.
(be careful, it will be ferocious)
After 1 to 1½ minutes, remove the potatoes and place them on a paper towel lined plate. Let them cool 8 to
10 minutes in the refrigerator.
While they're cooling, add the lard or beef drippings to the hot Crisco®. Again, crank the temperature to
full. Stir in the lard as it melts into the oil. It will blend in.
After the deep fryer is reheated to 375°-400°, add the potatoes and deep fry again. This time for 5-7 minutes
until golden brown. Remove and place in a large bowl.
Sprinkle generously with salt, then "toss" the fries to mix the salt evenly. ( I suggest about 1 teaspoon of
salt, maybe slightly more)
Serve hot, serve immediately, and enjoy! Depending upon the size of the potatoes, this recipe make about 2
medium sized fries.
Special Notes
Note¹***** If you want more fries, double the recipe---but DON'T double the cooking oil. Just cook them
in shifts, adding about 1/4 cup more Crisco® and 1
tablespoon lard for the second batch.
Note²***** If cooking for a minute or so, removing, and returning the fries to the oil seems like a pain in
the ***, that's because it is. But it is an important
"blanching" step required for that great taste.
Note³***** For an easier clone of McDonald's french fries, you can use the frozen, pre-cut Ore-Ida®
shoestring potatoes. Just cook them in the same combo of
Crisco® and lard, skipping the "blanching" process. Cook them while still frozen for 6-10 minutes
(depending upon the amount) until golden brown. They're good,
but not nearly as accurate in taste and texture as the fresh recipe.​

Not to sound greedy or anything, but do you have the KFC chicken spices recipe please?
thanks
Wheelo
 
from what I can see and read 'crisco shortening' is the equivalent to what we call lard.

read somewhere else the equivalent in the UK would be cookeen, and reading recipe it seems to be only used for cooking the chicken in :dunno:

It basically is lard, and as Anto says it is only for frying the chicken in. over yonder ye old sunflower oil is sneered at. basically, whatever you deep fry your chips in will do, but there always has been and , I suppose there always will be the argument between animal fat (lard) and vegetable oils for frying in.

yeah, follow @wheelo recipe for ingredients in post #7 and you won't go far wrong, you need small ch portions though for best results, and don't try it with chicken breast, - need skin!!
Drumsticks are best, forget all the American crap about half a cup of this and two cups of that.
Soak the chicken in MSG/water mix for 24 hours before cooking.

Do Eeeeeet!:(y):
 
Having worked in food production for the best part of 25 years let me tell you that the majority of McDonalds chicken products are not made like that recipe above for nuggets , I worked for the company that mass produced the nuggets and chicken burgers for many years and there ain't no special recipe or technique lol it's a production line with minimum wage workers
