McDonald's Chicken Big Mac Recipe | Copycat Recipe
As a self-proclaimed burger lover, I'm excited to see if this twist on the classic Big Mac lives up to the hype.
With the rise of fast food trends and secret menu items, it's no surprise that Mickey D's is always looking for ways to innovate and drive franchise profits.
But the real question is, does this recipe deliver on the flavor and value that fans of the Golden Arches have come to expect?

right so look it's been overnight I just
2:34
went ahead and put this in here just in
2:36
case we had any leakage you don't want
2:37
to clean your refrigerator right so we
2:40
got that there I've already added some
2:42
oil inside of my you know my Dutch oven
2:44
I'm bringing this up to Temp we want to
2:46
start at about 350 anywhere about 320 to
2:49
350 cuz look I'm going fry these twice

2:58
easier easy to keep up with right so if
3:00
you guys are doing any type of breading
3:02
station you can call it how you want to
3:03
you can go wet no you can go uh uh flour
3:07
into your wet into your dry then you can
3:11

3:12
just thought these was neat anytime I
3:14
find any of these things like this I'm
3:16
going to let you guys know you guys can
3:17
check down in the comment section uh
3:18
below excuse me in the description uh
3:20
box and I'll put like some kind of link
3:21
to this these right here make sense now
3:24
I am setting up a bread station and then
3:26
check this out this is going to be my
3:28
wet right so I'm coming out of this and
3:30
going to go on to dry but I just wanted
3:31
to show you guys this right here cuz I'm
3:33
going to really be getting down with
3:34
this you know this fall now as I'm
3:37
waiting for this to come up to temp what
3:38
I'm going to do is I'm going to take my
3:39
flour and my cornstarch and we just add
3:41
it here now I got you guys you're going
3:43
to say man I don't need to do that I'm
3:44
going to use a bowl but if you spend as
3:46
much time in the kitchen as I do I like
3:48
to have all of the nice uh utensils you
3:50
know I mean they very inexpensive you
3:52
know what I mean uh just levels up my
3:53
gang make me feel great you know what I
3:56
mean and I'm able to do what I want to
3:57
you know do what I want to do achieve
3:59
that good good food not saying you got
4:01
to have that but you got to have these
4:04
all right so I'm going go ahead and take
4:06
and now we want to add all of our
4:07
ingredients you know our dry ingredients
4:09
right now I want you to pay attention to
4:12
this before I go ahead and mix this with
4:13
this whisk you see that right there I
4:16
want to make sure you guys got enough
4:17
seasoning and I'm going to say something
4:19
to some of you new people out there that
4:21
don't really uh haven't had nobody ever
4:23
say this to you when I get through
4:25
mixing this and getting everything to
4:26
Merry and completely combin you have to
4:29
taste your flour if your flour doesn't
4:32
have any seasoning in it folks we got a
4:35
problem so what do we do we just make an
4:37
adjustment this ensures that what we
4:39
make has great breading on the outside
4:43
and it's good that's going to be one of
4:45
the secrets the other secret is this
4:47
right here it's the fact that we
4:50
marinated that the pickle juice was like
4:51
a real secret you know what I mean a lot
4:53
of people don't know that usually people
4:54
put it in buttermilk add a little hot
4:56
sauce you can put a couple of things in
4:58
there you know as far as seasoning but
4:59
listen that's going to be seasoned this
5:01
is going to be super tender and again
5:03
this is going to be what McDonald's wish
5:04
they was making okay so look I went and
5:05
got my candy thermometer now we going to
5:07
look and see where we at right submerge
5:09
this in the you know inside of my oil we
5:12
going to let that come up and we going
5:13
to get a reading folks what we looking
5:14
for again is about 320 that's cool cuz
5:17
what I want to do is I just want to put
5:18
it in there I'm going probably let it
5:20
just stay in there for about 20 excuse
5:21
me I'm going let it stay in there for
5:23
about 3 minutes you know what I mean and
5:24
uh we just see how the bread look then
5:26
we G to take it out let it completely
5:28
drip dry right here on my cooling rack
5:30
and then we going back in there to
5:32
achieve 165 all right so now we F to
5:34
make our Mac sauce I gotta say it that
5:37
way man cuz reason I say it that way cuz
5:40
look this is not probably like the
5:41
truest way to make it I know how to make
5:43
I can get close to the mac sauce you
5:45
know what I mean but this right here we
5:46
want to just put this in here like this
5:48
and this always starts with a little bit
5:49
of that mayil so after my May I'm going
5:51
to come over here I'm going give you
5:54
guys another Pro tip now this really I
5:56
guess it's like personal you know
5:58
personal to you guys how you like like
5:59
it right but if you look I'm using Mount
6:01
Olive sweet salad cubes what I'm going
6:04
to do is I'mma hold this and I like to
6:05
let some of the liquid just drain off
6:08
right reason being I don't want that to
6:09
become soupy I want it to stay with a
6:12
little bit of that as much as that
6:13
consistency of the mail as I can all
6:16
right so now we back over here you guys
6:18
know what I call this this that W sauce
6:20
right so I'm just going to give this
6:21
like a couple of little shakes you know
6:23
what I mean uh again I love the flavor
6:26
but I don't want this to be too soupy
6:28
woo that's enough right there that's
6:30
enough to just put a
6:31
hint right so now we going to come with
6:34
the when it comes let me give this a
6:36
shake I know you guys familiar with this
6:38
mustard if you don't shake it up you
6:39
know how it gives that liquid out of
6:40
there we don't want that in there we
6:42
want straight mustard right so I'm just
6:43
going to give it a little bit and then
6:45
we'll check now this is what I keep
6:47
close to me shake up my ketchup talk to
6:51
me is it hind or is it hunch y'all tell
6:55
me just put a little bit in here how I
6:58
get a little bit of that color
7:00
right right now look at the color
7:03
starting to look like mac sauce but this
7:05
is AB sauce some of you guys make
7:07
something like this but remember I was
7:09
talking about that consistency see how
7:10
it's not just running off of there
7:12
that's what you want to have come on in
7:14
here look that's what you should have
7:16
something like that and the cool thing
7:17
about this is listen we got all the
7:19
ingredients right here we can just keep
7:20
doing whatever we want to achieve the
7:22
flavor that we like but don't forget on
7:24
my website smoking and Grilling wab.com
7:26
that's wab.com I'm going to get you you
7:29
guys right the full downloadable and
7:32
it's going to be printable you know what
7:33
I mean our recipe is there all right so
7:35
now we just going to you know shred our
7:37
lettuce right all right so my
7:40
temperature got a little high for me I
7:41
think right now if you guys take a look
7:42
at it it should be about 360 you know
7:44
what I mean I'm letting it come down but
7:46
first thing we getting ready to do well
7:48
I'm going just say meanwhile I'mma come
7:50
out of our brine oh
7:53
man right look at that right there now I
7:55
like to get as much of this off as
7:58
possible and I got it they're a little
7:59
bit on the thin side but you want them
8:01
that way I'm not going to overcrowd it
8:03
we just use these two right now now I'm
8:05
going to take one clean hand which will
8:07
be this one right here this will be the
8:09
one that I use it become wet right so
8:11
I'm going just take some of my seasoned
8:12
flour and if you guys pay attention you
8:14
can look at the flour and say yeah
8:16
that's seasoned this is what I'm talking
8:18
about
8:21
folks right let me just go ahead and
8:24
flip this one
8:25
over one thing about that flower boy
8:28
when you drop something it kick a little
8:30
wind back and boom now you see this
8:32
right here look I'mma pick it up you see
8:34
how I bend this right here and we don't
8:36
have nothing we want to get a little bit
8:37
of that everywhere you know some our
8:39
season flour everywhere you know what I
8:42
mean so this is why I push it if it was
8:45
like another piece of type of meat I
8:46
would take it in my hand and just
8:48
squeeze it I want to get it everywhere
8:50
see how like now when I do it it's not
8:51
as bad but we got some over here take
8:54
your time folks get your breading on
8:55
there right 360 not going to hurt me I
8:58
like to use 3 50 and I know it's going
9:00
to pull down anyway but don't forget we
9:02
only going to be in here just for a
9:03
couple of minutes right I mean when I
9:05
say a couple that's what I mean so I
9:07
look it like this you see it had time to
9:08
go ahead and soak so now I'mma put it in
9:10
here this is how I do mine I wave this
9:13
back and forth like this let that kind
9:15
of like seal up then when I come here I
9:17
go let it and release it away from
9:19
me like that right I'm going to do this
9:22
one right now just to show you guys I'm
9:24
going to concentrate on this one cuz we
9:25
want this to be just right now as you
9:27
guys can look right here you can see the
9:29
I got myself another cooling rack cuz
9:31
after two a couple of minutes in here
9:33
I'm going to take that out and put it
9:34
here and let it drip dry we going to let
9:36
it cool then I'm going to start doing
9:37
them two by two so after 2 minutes I
9:40
want you guys to look at the color you
9:42
know what I mean we just trying to get a
9:43
little bit of the color on here get it
9:45
cooked now what you're going to need is
9:46
you're going to want to get yourself one
9:47
of these meat thermometers right I have
9:49
these in red and black but you see how
9:51
it says smoking and Grilling with AB
9:53
then you want to test it but I'm telling
9:54
you it's not ready now cuz we only been
9:56
in that hot grease only for about M I'm
9:59
I'm say about 2 and 1/2 minutes right so
10:02
the next thing is I'm going to go ahead
10:04
and do the rest of these so let me go
10:06
ahead and get this going let me check
10:08
make sure I done cooled a little bit
10:09
it's best to do this when it's about
10:11
3:20 3:30 so I'm going to let this cool
10:13
to that and I'm going do it we going to
10:15
achieve the color we going to let them
10:17
all stage once I got them all stage we
10:19
going to raise it we going to go to uh
10:20
350 and then we going to cook them till
10:22
we get to 165 don't forget we just want
10:26
to go a couple of
10:27
minutes right look at that right there
10:31
now we take this over here like
10:33
this put that
10:35
down and finish off the next two all
10:38
right so my temp went up to 330 right
10:41
now I'm done you know putting these in
10:44
right so this was like the first one I'm
10:45
going to go ahead and just drop that in
10:47
like that now we looking for 165 folks
10:50
real simple you know what I mean uh so
10:53
put them here and don't forget we got to
10:55
have some type of read thermometer you
10:58
know what I mean uh so that we bble to
10:59
even read them right so here it is it's
11:02
not going to take
11:12
[Music]
11:17
long all right so listen now that I got
11:19
my chicken it's cooling a little bit I'm
11:21
going go ahead now you guys want to do
11:23
this like I'm going to say do it at the
11:25
same time you know what I mean but it's
11:27
a lot trying to keep up with the
11:28
temperature cuz you don't want to
11:29
overcook you know you don't want to
11:31
overcook your chicken right so I kind of
11:33
like stayed over that way but if you
11:35
guys got a better way of doing it you
11:36
can do it that way that way all the
11:38
stuff is ready at the same time right so
11:40
I'm taking mail I'm opening up that
11:42
discussion right now especially for
11:44
those who don't uh who have never had
11:46
mayo or so they think they never had
11:48
Mayo on a bun you know what I mean I
11:50
prefer to have the Mayo over butter this
11:53
gives me a more of a real buttery taste
11:55
than anything you know so if you had it
11:58
let me know down in the comments section
11:59
below some of y'all going to chime in I
12:01
know cuz a lot of people didn't know and
12:03
now they tell me when they see me doing
12:04
it they be like AB I don't do it no
12:06
other way but the mail all right so
12:09
let's look at this one oh yeah that's
12:12
what you want to have actually I'm going
12:14
to set this on there too just to get a
12:15
little Char on the bottom you see that
12:17
one right there yeah that's
12:18
good this one right here I rotate that
12:21
one and that one I'mma to put in the
12:22
middle so I'm going to go ahead and take
12:24
this one
12:26
off we'll just let these two stay on
12:29
here I'm going to move that one over
12:30
there cuz obviously it's a little bit on
12:31
the hotter side over that way and we're
12:33
going to go ahead and get that going but
12:35
look at that right there folks my
12:37
goodness and you want to know are they
12:41
soft all right so everything is ready
12:44
tell me that don't look like a work of
12:45
art you know what I mean as far as
12:46
toasting your buns that's it right there
12:49
right so the first thing I'm getting
12:50
ready to do is I'm going to take this
12:51
one right here and I'm going to go ahead
12:53

12:56
put my sauce on there we going to put a
12:58
little bit of the sh lettuce then we
13:00
going to put the cheese why cuz we want
13:02
I want you guys to think like why would
13:04
he put the cheese on top like that
13:06
reason being we want to the chicken to
13:09
go ahead and help the cheese melt right
13:11
so I like to put a little bit like this
13:14
on here I know it look like I'm putting
13:16
it on heavy but there's a reason to it
13:18
it's a method to this madness
13:28
right put it on like that now I'm going
13:31
to come with this American I really want
13:34
to call it you know just the way we call
13:37
this that good cheese that's all I'm
13:38
going say we take that we go ahead and
13:41
just lay him on there like that right
13:44
and now I'm going to take one of these
13:45
patties right
13:46
here check it out and I'm going put this
13:48
right here on
13:52
top right now we got to have a center
13:54
bun let me go on over here and get that
13:59
here go that Center bun folks I'mma go
14:01
ahead and hit it you know what I mean
14:04
don't have to go as heavy on one side
14:09
right for me I like to put a little
14:11
sauce right
14:13
here right I'm going to go ahead and set
14:16
this down I did say this is like a Big
14:18
Mac a chicken Big Mac right so we F to
14:22
get it right folks then we going to do
14:25
go ahead and just repeat the same thing
14:26
