McDonald's worker shares secret way McRib is really made ahead of its UK return

It hasn't been on the menu for almost 10 years but finally, it's making a long-awaited return. The 1980s cult favourite McRib is returning to menus across the UK for the first time since 2015, when fans ordered it in droves.

To celebrate its return, channel @madaboutmaccies has shared how the McRib is made from start to finish. Describing the sought-after , a McDonald's statement reads: "The McRib starts with seasoned boneless pork dipped in a tangy BBQ sauce, topped with slivered onions and tangy pickles, all served on a toasted homestyle bun.

"When everything combines you have BBQ pork sandwich perfection. But its availability is limited – stay tuned at your local McDonald’s for when the McRib is available near you." But according to the video, the crew members start by warming the BBQ sauce before grilling the McRib patty for around 106 seconds.

From there, they add the cooked McRibs into the BBQ sauce and leave them to marinate while they toast the buns. For dressings, they add onions and pickles before adding the McRib patty to complete the burger and handing it over to the customer.

Commenting on the McRib, one user said: "I want to try it. After reading your review, will ask for extra pickles. I tried the Ribwich at Universal Orlando and was disappointed. Needed more pickles and it was a bit dry but enjoyed the 'rib'."

Another user added: "I love them! I’ve had six so far and just can’t get enough. I ordered without pickles and wished they had a less sauce option like Burger King does. I’ll be sad when they’re gone again." A third user said: "It tastes very good with less sauce than they normally put. When you order it, tell them to hold back on it. It makes a of difference."

One more user added: "The last time I had a McRib was whenever they were last available. Bought one immediately upon seeing the advertisement. The first two bites were a pleasantly tasty walk down memory lane. The last bite was met with the realization I’m good for another 10+ years."

Speaking about the McRib, returning to the UK menu on October 16, Thomas O’Neill, Head of Menu at McDonald’s UK said: "It is more than just a sandwich; it’s a phenomenon. We have heard our fans loud and clear – the fan petitions and pleas on social – and after almost a decade of anticipation, we are thrilled to bring back this iconic menu item.

"Knowing how well-loved the McRib is, we had very little choice – we had to make it happen. It was time to step up and satisfy the cravings of McRib enthusiasts across the country."
