All About Big Mac Sauce

Big Mac Sauce was created back in the 1960s by a McDonald’s franchise owner, Jim Delligatti. He wanted to create a burger that was bigger, juicier, and more flavorful than other fast food restaurants on the market.

For many years, the recipe was a secret. But recently, McDonald’s release the ingredients to the public, leading to a rise in copycat recipes. You can even buy Big Mac Sauce in a bottle in the supermarket in some places around the world.

While it’s difficult to match the exact recipe, this copycat provides all the flavor you expect from a spread of Big Mac Sauce and will definitely satisfy your craving for the fast food classic.

White Wine Vinegar – You can use apple cider vinegar or lemon juice instead of white wine vinegar.

Garlic Powder and Onion Powder – You can use fresh minced garlic and onion instead of the powdered versions.
