McDonald’s copycat recipes

McDonald’s is the burger chain most people picture first: the Big Mac, its fries and Chicken McNuggets are recognized on both sides of the Atlantic. The US and UK menus share the classics but split elsewhere, with the McDouble and Hotcakes in America and the Mayo Chicken and Chicken Legend in Britain. This page gathers our homemade versions of its burgers, chicken and sauces, each with an estimated cost per serving in dollars and pounds, the original’s current menu status and community votes on how close the copycat gets.
