You can have as many shitty mcchickens at home as you want.
https://www.bjs.com/product/perdue-fully-cooked-and-frozen-breaded-chicken-patties-5-lbs/3000000000003279249 $14.50 / 20 patties 73 cents a patty
https://www.bjs.com/product/kraft-singles-yellow-american-cheese-slices-4-lbs/3000000000000218101 $10.50 / 96 slices 11 cents a slice
https://www.bjs.com/product/wellsley-farms-hamburger-rolls-16-ct/3000000000000145519 $3 / 16 buns 20 cents a bun

All for the low low price of slightly above 1 dollar. Throw in ketchup, bbq, chick fil a sauce, whatever kind of sauce you want. Buffalo ranch? ANYTHING.

Anyone can do it. Nothing is stopping you. The american cheese will never go bad, and the patties are frozen. The hamburger rolls are a bit of a concern, that's about it.

It won't cost you much, but you'll have 16 solid sandwiches, hell you can even double up a couple if you don't want single patty "mcchickens."

It's damn cheap, easy, and maybe? slightly healthier for you. At least you know what you're putting in.

thats a lot of work and cost when I only want one mcchicken

I love people that act like homemade shit can taste anything near places with actual recipes.

It never does.

No, buying a beef patty and throwing Kraft singles on it isn't gonna get me the same taste as a Big Mac lol.

This is coming from a guy who thinks mcchickens and big macs are "actual recipes."

Yes, yes it is.

Keep making them bootleg burgers bro.

Wendy's Spicy Chicken is where it's at. McChicken is a dry slab in comparison

Shut the fuck up.

Regular People Problems

haven't eaten mc d in over a decade but before I stopped I was able to get 3 sandwiches for $3

wages have barely increased since

the US is going to complete shit

Thank you.

They literally have proprietary equipment.

What are we doin' here?

Sounds like you should make your own chicken sandwiches. Just pop a chicken patty in an air fryer and toast or don't toast your buns,

if i remember correctly the overall cost of a chicken sandwich is about 1.25 or 1.50$ before condiments. way cheaper than mcdonald's charges plus comes out better in an air fryer.

At least the apple pies have remained 2 for $1

No, they're 2 for 2.89

It's like printing endless money has an effect on the economy or something.

member when the republicans kept saying that if we raised min wage fast food would be 30 dollars yet inflation constantly fucks stuff never wage increases

I don't usually eat McDonald's but before the pandemic I'd get a couple stacks for the homies when we chilled. Guess jack in the box 2 tacos 99 cents is where its at.

its time to get 3 different subs from subway and call it a fucking day.

cheaper than shitty D's at this point.

I doubt it brother

Can of Arizona Ice Tea is still 99c, it's been like that for at least 15 years, what gives, even the 99c store sells a bunch of stuff over 99c nowadays.

2 for $2.29 here. I always laugh when I see those shitty "pies" keep increasing a few cents each in price literally each time I go in. Meanwhile I go to Hardees for apple turnovers that are actually turnovers, much bigger than McDiddlers "pies", and are still 2 for $1.

I spent $20 on two meals + a pie at McDonald's the other day, and they screwed up my order 3 times.

This is the second time I've had that happen. The food is bad enough, but christ, that is truly bottom of the barrel service.

Don't use delivery then? Delivery services are ripoff and charge you more then the menu price.

Cooking at home is way cheaper and way healthier. If you can't cook then learn, it's not hard.

what's a melty?

CE thinks it means a meltdown, which is funny because even if it did, they will infer "meltys" on almost anything.

But TBH I think it sounds like a toddler asking for a grilled cheese and calling it a melty.

Either that or that anime porn game where the heroine is named Melty.

Somehow I doubt that. I think most people are just awful at trolling and literally fish for any reason they can to trigger people regardless of accuracy.

Probably miserable irl.

I just think of anime airdashers when I hear melty.

Is this a global change or what. Last I checked it's a dollar + tax.

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.
