Gourmet Mcdonalds Style Mcrib Sandwich Recipes

COPYCAT MCDONALD'S MCRIB RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the barbecue sauce by combining ketchup, molasses, Worcestershire, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, ground coriander, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat before reducing the heat to medium-low. Simmer the sauce for 15 minutes, until the flavors meld together. Let the mixture cool before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you don't want to make your own barbecue sauce, use one cup of store-bought sweet-and-tangy barbecue sauce.
• Meanwhile, chop the pork chops into 1-inch cubes. Place the pork cubes in the food processor with the water, white sugar, and the rest of the salt. Process the mixture until it's smooth, like ground pork.
• Divide the ground pork into four 4-ounce portions. Form each portion into a rectangle that's roughly 6-1/2 by 3-inches. Using your fingers, create indentations to make the patties look like "ribs."
• Place the patties on a piece of parchment paper. Cover the patties with another piece of parchment. Freeze the patties until they're frozen solid, about 2 hours.
• Remove the patties from the freezer. Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over high heat. When the griddle is hot, add the pork and cook for 3 to 4 minutes a side, until browned on each side and cooked through. Let the pork cool for a minute or two.
• While the pork is cooling, spread 1/2 tablespoon of the butter onto the cut side of each bun. Place the buns on the hot griddle, cut-side down, until they're lightly browned, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, place one cup of the prepared barbecue sauce in a large bowl. Dip the pork patties into the barbecue sauce, letting any excess drip off.
• Place the pork patties onto the prepared buns. Top the pork with a few pickle slices and 2 tablespoons of the sliced onions.

GOURMET MCDONALD'S STYLE MCRIB SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine all of the spices together until mixed thoroughly. Rub all over the rack of ribs and place in a baking pan.
• Pour 1 bottle of the barbecue sauce all over the ribs and bake in the oven until the ribs are fully cooked and the bones can slide right out (1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes).
• To test if the ribs are ready, use tongs to lift the entire rack out of the pan and gently pull at the bones in the opposite direction of the meat. The bones should slide right out without giving any pull.
• Meanwhile, heat the second bottle of barbecue sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
• Toast each roll lightly in the toaster oven.
• To remove the meat from the bones, flip the ribs over so that the underside is facing upward (the bone side). Take a paring knife and cut down the center of each bone - this removes the tendons from the bones and allows you to slide all of the meat off the rack of bones without cutting it apart. Once the bones are removed, cut 4 portions out of the rack (3 ribs per portion).
• Dip each portion in the saucepan with the barbecue sauce and coat generously. Place each portion on a roll. Top with a handful of chopped onions and 3 dill pickles. Serve.

MCDONALD'S STYLE SOUTHERN-STYLE CHICKEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine all of the dry ingredients in a paper bag, except for the sugar, and mix thoroughly.
• Combine the egg, water and sugar in a medium-sized bowl.
• Place each breast in the paper bag and coat with dry mixture. Dip each breast in the egg mixture and then place back in the bag to coat with the dry mixture once more.
• Place the egg batter in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator.
• Place the breasts on a plate or tray and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• When the breasts come out of the refrigerator, coat once more in egg mixture then the dry mixture.
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F.
• Fry the chicken until light brown and crispy (about 15 minutes). Let the chicken drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
• Place the breast on the bottom bun and top with two pickles chips. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix salt, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, cumin, and cayenne together for the rub.
• Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season both sides generously with some of the rub. Reserve remaining rub for another use. Cover top with parchment paper and wrap foil over the edges. Cover the whole baking sheet with another large sheet of foil, sealing in the sides.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 2 hours and 45 minutes.
• Unwrap ribs and let cool briefly until safe to handle. Pull out the bones, stuffing any loose pieces of meat back into the holes and checking carefully for bone fragments. Wrap ribs back up and refrigerate until cold, 8 hours to overnight.
• Cut each rack in half. Brush both sides generously with barbecue sauce.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill ribs until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from grill and brush with more barbecue sauce.
• Drizzle more barbecue sauce onto each roll. Sandwich each rib section between a roll and top with coleslaw.
