A former McDonald’s chef has spilled the beans on how to recreate the iconic Big Mac sauce at home. Mike Haracz, who served as a corporate chef for the fast-food giant until 2019, has been dishing out insider tips on his TikTok channel, including the secret recipe for the famous Big Mac sauce.
In one of his most popular videos, he announces: “Chef Mike here, former corporate chef for McDonald’s, and I am going to give you my recipe on how to make Big Mac sauce at home.”
To kick things off, Chef Mike pours one cup of mayonnaise into a bowl, followed by a 1/4 cup of sweet pickle relish, two tablespoons of Dusseldorf mustard, and one teaspoon of white wine vinegar.
Next, he adds one and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, one teaspoon of onion powder, one teaspoon of granulated garlic, and 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper. He explained: “All you’ve got to do is mix it all together. As you can see, there’s no ketchup in this recipe. The color you get from Big Mac sauce is just from paprika. You’re going to let this sit for half an hour before trying. This is as close as you are going to get.”
