Ingredients

  • 1 piece Big Mac (store‑bought McDonald’s Big Mac, keep bun, patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles and special sauce together)
  • 2 cups French Fries (frozen McDonald’s‑style fries)
  • 12 pieces Chicken Nuggets (frozen McDonald’s chicken nuggets)
  • 12 pieces Popcorn Chicken (frozen popcorn chicken bites)
  • 8 slices Bacon (thick‑cut smoked bacon)
  • 6 sheets Rice Paper (gelatinous rice paper, 8‑inch round)
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Gravy

Instructions

  1. Gather & Prep Ingredients

    Lay out all components on a clean countertop. Unwrap the Big Mac, separate bun, patties, cheese, lettuce, pickles and sauce. Keep each piece in its own bowl.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Fry French Fries

    Heat oil in the deep fryer to 350°F. Fry the frozen fries until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined baking sheet and season lightly with salt.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 350°F

  3. Fry Chicken Nuggets

    Using the same oil, fry the chicken nuggets for 4‑5 minutes until the coating is deep golden. Drain on paper towels.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 350°F

  4. Fry Popcorn Chicken

    Fry the popcorn chicken bites for 3‑4 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside on the same paper‑towel sheet.

    Time: PT5M

    Temperature: 350°F

  5. Cook Bacon

    Lay bacon strips on a separate baking sheet and bake in a pre‑heated oven at 400°F for 8‑10 minutes, or fry in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 400°F

  6. Mix Custom Sauce

    In a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce and gravy. Stir until smooth.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Soak Rice Paper

    Fill a shallow dish with warm (not hot) water. Submerge one rice‑paper sheet for 30 seconds until pliable, then lay flat on the bamboo mat. Repeat with remaining sheets.

    Time: PT1M

  8. Assemble the Roll

    On the softened rice paper, arrange a thin layer of fries, followed by chicken nuggets, popcorn chicken, crisp bacon, and the three Big Mac pieces (bun bottom, patty with cheese, bun top). Drizzle a generous line of the custom sauce across the center. Using the bamboo mat, roll tightly, applying gentle pressure to seal the edges.

    Time: PT5M

  9. Slice & Serve

    Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into 1‑inch thick pieces. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.

    Time: PT2M
