Here’s my guess as to what makes McDonald’s burgers special:
high fat hamburger - 20-30%, maybe even 40%
salt - way more than you think you need
black pepper
That’s it. Make them thin and fry on a pan.
Their special sauce on the big mac is basically just relish, Italian dressing, onion powder, and mayo (maybe cut with Miracle Whip to make it taste more fake), maybe with a few other spices. I bet you could get close with trial and error on the ratios there.
The fries will be harder since they use a blend of oils and a deep frier, which most people won’t have.
