  • How to make your own Big Mac sauce at home

    The Big Mac is iconic, from its two beef patties to its pillowy, seeded buns.

    But perhaps the most beloved aspect of the legendary burger is its sauce.

    And now, you can make it for yourself at home...

    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons French dressing
    • 4 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
    • 1 tablespoon finely minced white onion
    • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Inside the ill-fated McHot Dog

    One menu item most McDonald's lovers won't have heard of is the McHot Dog.

    Many years ago McDonald’s used to make hot dogs and they were quite popular for some time.

    The hot dog made its first UK appearance in the late 1990s but skirted on and off menus for years. 

    The item made a brief return in 2002 but hasn't been seen since.

  • Does McDonald’s have a secret menu?

    Every fast food lover has heard whispers of McDonald’s fabled secret menu.

    These hidden options reportedly allow you to order items only available in other countries and even combine different products to make your dream snack.

    But does it really exist?

    Well, in a way.

    If you go up to a counter and order the legendary “Monster Mac”, the server might look at you like you’ve had one too many to drink.

    However, thanks to the self-service machines allowing you to customise your order, you can create some of the iconic “secret” items.

    You can dine in at McDonald's restaurants during the breakfast opening times or have the menu items delivered to your home.

    Orders can be made through Just EatUber Eats or the McDonald's app but remember, you'll have to pay a fee for delivery.

    How much this costs depends on how far from the restaurant you live, and there may be a minimum amount you have to order too.

    Plus, be aware your local branch may not accept new orders at the busiest times.

  • Remembering the Chicken Legend

    The Chicken Legend played a central role in the McDonald’s menu for over a decade after its introduction in 2007.

    The sandwich was made up of a breaded chicken breast on rye with mayo and lettuce.

    The popular item was dumped in 2020, however, and eventually replaced by the McCrispy burger.

    It’s safe to say fans miss the sandwich, with foodies launching #BACKTHELEGEND on X.

  • Which burgers received last month’s changes?

    McDonald’s made a slew of changes to its burger recipe last month.

    Here are the menu items that received the changes:

    • Big Mac
    • Quarter Pounder with cheese
    • Cheeseburger
    • Double cheeseburger
    • Triple cheeseburger
  • McDonald’s made huge changes to its burgers

    For the first time in decades, McDonald’s made massive changes to its burger recipe last month.

    In a bid to improve flavour and modernise the classic burgers, Maccy’s made the following changes:

    • Beef patties – tighter sear on the grill for hotter, sizzling and juicier beef patties for maximum flavours
    • Grilled onions – new processes on the girl involve adding white onions on top of patties as they cook for added colour and charred flavour
    • Lettuce – fresh lettuce straight from that fridge for a crunchier taste
    • Cheese – hotter beef patties will make the cheese more melted, creating a smoother texture
    • New buns – buttery, brioche-style recipe and freshly toasted
  • Who owns McDonald’s?

    McDonald’s has been a key part of millions of Brit’s lives for decades now.

    But who owns the legendary restaurant chain?

    McDonald’s has been owned by Kroc, set up by Ray Kroc, since April 1955.

    Ray Kroc was an American businessman, who went into partnership with the McDonald brothers in 1955.

  • How do I enter my app code?

    You can enter your app game piece code on the McDonald’s app.

    You can scan the code from your game piece by allowing the app access to your camera.

    Alternatively, you can manually enter the 12-digit code.

  • McDonald’s fans react to huge menu shake-up coming in days

    McDonald’s is adding a host of new items to its menu next week and it’s safe to say fans are excited.

    One of those items is the new Lotus Biscoff Frappe and foodies are already drooling at the thought of it.

    One X user said: “OMG that looks unreal.”

    While a second fan commented: “I love Biscoff I am so excited for this one.”

    Another added: “Lotus Biscoff Frappe, let’s go!”

  • Cheese and Herb Melts coming to the menu

    The new and returning items will be landing on menus across the UK and Ireland from April 17.

    News of the menu shakeup was leaked last week but the chain has now confirmed the items and prices.

    Among the range is the brand new Lotus Biscoff Frappe which is bound to be a big hit with fans of the iconic biscuit.

    The popular snack will also be featured in the form of a McFlurry, which made its debut last year.

    Also new to its offering are the Cheese and Herb Melts.

    Among the beloved items making their way back to menus is the Chicken Big Mac.

  • What drinks are included in the Winning Sips game?

  • Key tips for entering your code

    There could be a couple reasons why your code is coming up as invalid so don't panic.

    McDonalds advises customers to make sure they have the right code entered correctly.

    Customers should double check the code on the game piece and re-enter, without leaving any spaces.

    You should also make sure the code you are trying to enter is 12-digits long.

    If your code is coming up as invalid still then it may have already been entered.

    You need to keep your game pieces and codes safe even after entering the code, so keep a note of which ones you’ve entered and do not share it with others.

    If you’re still not sure, email McDonalds for assistance at winning-sips-support@mcdonalds.co.uk.

  • How do I enter my app code?

    You can enter your app game piece code on the McDonald’s app.

    Unfortunately players can not enter codes through their website.
