My favorite McDonalds coupon is to get a free medium drink and free medium fries when you buy a crispy chicken sandwich. Everyone telling me to just cook it myself, please tell me how to make a chicken sandwich with fries and a drink for $3.99.

Well it IS possible and it would probably be cheaper in the long run but it requires some equipment.

You would need a deep fryer, and I find a gallon oil drum is good for saving money and re-using oil. Fries need a fry cutter to achieve the perfect shape and cut down on labor. If you have a lot of room in the fridge, you can do a bunch of fries at once and submerge them in a container filled with water (this is so they can retain moisture).

Chicken sandwich and soda is heck'n cheap and and the sandwich would end up being way better homemade.

Chicken is a simple process that involves cutting raw chicken into roughly chicken sized patties, possibly tenderizing for a more conformed shape. Simple Flour, Egg & Bread process, followed by deep frying. But season your flour.

True cooking gods will make their own buns but unless I am doing it for a specialty recipe I find it to be too much work.
