Mcdonald's spicy chicken sandwich recipe

Spicy chicken sandwiches are popping up everywhere nowadays.  Which, is a good thing for my teenaged son. He craves them like a Cullen craves a camping trip.
Though most fast food spicy chicken sandwiches are cheap eats–usually priced less than two bucks–I shudder to think of the meat quality, preservatives, and unhealthy oils used in the preparation of this ‘meal.’  So, the tweenager and I set to work last week, attempting to recreate his favorite spicy flavor in a more healthful way.  Would you believe it only took ten minutes to achieve a flavor that had him head over heels, using all-natural chicken breast, and a handful of everyday spices?  It’s true!  This recipe is ridiculously easy and ridiculously delicious.  It’s one spicy chicken sandwich that we can afford to put into our menu, schedule, and bodies.

Homemade Spicy Chicken Sandwich Recipe2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. onion salt
1 tsp. celery salt
1 tsp. sugar
1/3 c. cornstarch
2 eggs, well beaten
2 chicken breasts, sliced halfwise to create 4 pieces
1 c. light olive oil or canola oil for frying

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium high heat. While the oil is heating, combine cornstarch and all other spices in a shallow dish, stirring together until well mixed.  Pour well beaten eggs into a second shallow dish. Coat chicken pieces thoroughly with the cornstarch/spice mixture. Dip both sides into the egg mixture, then transfer immediately to hot oil and pan fry on both sides until cooked through (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove from oil, placing cooked chicken on a paper towel momentarily to drain excess oil from the sandwich. Serve on hamburger buns with mayonnaise and lettuce. Enjoy!

How to make Mcdonald's Big Mac

Big Mac Special Sauce
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 teaspoons, heaping, VLASIC dill pickle relish (Heinz dill relish also works)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried, minced onions
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.
Ingredients: (per sandwich)
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 your Big Mac:
Discard the crown half of the regular bun, retaining the heel. The cooking method for the Big MacTM 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!

How to make Mcdonald's Cheeseburger

To learn not just eat: 

Adding cheese to hamburgers became popular in the late-1920s to mid-1930s, and there are several competing claims as to who created the first cheeseburger. Lionel Sternberger is reputed to have invented the cheeseburger in 1926 at the age of 16 when he was working as a fry cook at his father's Pasadena, California sandwich shop, "The Rite Spot," and "experimentally dropped a slab of American cheese on a sizzling hamburger."

An early example of the cheeseburger appearing on a menu is a 1928 menu for the Los Angeles restaurant O'Dell's which listed a cheeseburger smothered with chili for 25 cents.

Other restaurants say they invented the cheeseburger. For example, Kaelin's Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, says it invented the cheeseburger in 1934. One year later, a trademark for the name "cheeseburger" was awarded to Louis Ballast of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver, Colorado. According to Steak 'n Shake archives, the restaurant's founder, Gus Belt, applied for a trademark on the word in the 1930s.^[

The recipe:
Cook the burgers using the regular hamburger recipe and place one THIN slice of American cheese on the crown side before adding meat patty. Don't use Kraft singles or Velveeta. (or anything termed as "American processed cheese FOOD) Use only real American cheese. That is KEY!
Please Note: Most slices of American cheese are too big for McDonald’s cheeseburgers. So take about 1/4" off two edges to make a smaller square.

 Here is the regular hamburger recipe ( It isnt so long to read as it seems, aprox 3 mins :D )

How to make Mcdonald's Quarter Pounder

Ingredients

1 Topp's 1/4 lb frozen beef patty

1 sesame seed bun

1 tablespoon fresh onion... diced

mustard, ketchup

2 HEINZ hamburger slices (pickles)

2 slices real American cheese (optional)

McDonald's Hamburger Seasoning

Beef Patty Alternative

If you can't find Topp's 1/4 pound patties, use one pound ground chuck, divide into 4 equal pieces, and form the patties about 5" diameter and 1/4" thick.

Do this on wax paper, and freeze until needed.

Cooking Your Quarter Pounder

Pre-heat an electric grill to 400 degrees. (If cooking more than one... also pre-heat an electric grill for toastingthe sesame seed buns) Lay the beef frozen patty on the grill, and after about 20 seconds, "sear" it. Sear a little harder and a little longer than with regular hamburgers. You should apply heavy pressure for 6-8 seconds. Sprinkle liberally with McD's Hamburger Seasoning. (see regular burgers to make that) About 2_-3 minutes after searing, turn. Be careful not to tear the sear you just created. Add another dash Seasoning. Lay the crown of the bun facedown on an unused, clean portion of the grill. It will toast very quickly, so move it around in a circular motion to prevent burning. After about 30 seconds the bun will be toasted enough. Remove to dress, and lay the heel facedown to the same spot on the grill. (If cooking more than one, follow the bun toasting instructions for the regular hamburger)

Dressing The Bun

Put five "kisses" of mustard around the toasted crown about 1/2 inch from the edge, equally spaced. Then put five squirts of ketchup in the pattern of a five on dice and the size of a nickel on the toasted bun. (Make the center one the size of a quarter) Add about a tablespoon of freshly chopped white onion, and the two pickle slices, evenly spaced.

If you're making a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, lay one slice of real American cheese on top of the condiments. Most cheese slices are slightly too big, so cut or tear off about 1/4 inch, making a slight

rectangle. By now... your meat should be done. (about 2-3 more minutes after turning) Smash the beef patty with the spatula to "squeeze" out excess fat, and then remove. Smash it again between the spatula and your free hand to additionally drain the fat. Lay it on top of your dressed crown and add the toasted heel. (If you're making a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, lay another slice of real American cheese on top of the patty before adding the heel. Position the corners off alignment with the other cheese slice)

Wrap it in a pre-cut 12”x12” sheet of waxed paper and either microwave it for 15 seconds, or allow it to be "warmed" in your pre-heated (lowest setting) oven for 8-10 minutes. (or use the alternate "Q-ing" method)

How to make Mcdonald's Chicken McGrill

Special Tools
Electric double side cooking grill. (Grill? Yeah, right. These products are glorified frying pans) Any home grilling item that cooks both sides simultaneously will work. Or you can use one of those frying pans with the raised "grill mark" maker. (see below for directions)
You'll also need a meat mallet, and a separate electric griddle (smooth surface) for toasting the buns.
Ingredients
2 chicken breast filets
4 large sesame seed buns
lettuce, tomato slices, mayonnaise
Marinade
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Kraft® grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon (or one cube) chicken bullion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (from concentrate)
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (Wrights® works best)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground paprika



Preparation
1. Prepare the marinade by mixing together the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Refrigerate until later.
2. Cut the two breast portions in half, creating 4 chicken patties. Pound them with a meat mallet to 3/8" thick, then trim the edges to make as round as possible. They should be about 4" in diameter.
3. Put the finished breast portions in the prepared marinade, poking each 5 or 6 times with a fork. (This allows the marinade to seep inside) Let them soak in the mixture for several hours before cooking.
4. Preheat your Grill, according to manufacturer's directions.
5. Toast the buns, using McDonald’s method.
6. Lay the breast patties on the bottom of the preheated grilling product, and close the top. Allow to cook 5-8 minutes, depending upon the number you are cooking.
7. Dress the toasted crown (top) of your bun as follows:
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped iceberg lettuce, one large tomato slice.
8. After the chicken is done, place it on the dressed bun, and cap with the toasted heel.
(the chicken should be fairly even in color with no pink in the center)
9. Wrap the finished grilled McChicken® in a large sheet of waxed paper, allow to sit 5 minutes, then
microwave 20 seconds to re-heat. (microwave while still wrapped)
Frying Pan Instructions
If using a frying pan (with raised grill marks), preheat to medium-high and cook the marinated chicken patties as follows
1. Place the chicken on the pan, and sear immediately. (sear by applying pressure for about 5 seconds)
2. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, depending upon the amount and actual temperature of your pan.
3. When the chicken is finished cooking, it will have a fairly even, golden-tan color with no pink in the middle.
Proceed as directed above.
