One question hamburger fans all over the world have wondered: what is in the Big Mac's secret sauce? Fortunately, the executive chef for McDonald's, Dan Coudreaut, revealed the secret behind the Big Mac's delicious flavor.

As you watch the video, the secret to the sauce has been hidden in plain sight, you might say. Coudreaut conceded that the ingredients have been available at the restaurant and on the internet for many, many years now, when Christine H. from Oshawa, Ontario, submitted the following question: "What is in the sauce that is in the Big Mac?"

The chef demonstrated that anyone can conjure up the mystery sauce in their own kitchen. You need store bought mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, classic yellow mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. The paprika "gives it a little flavor but it also helps to enhance the color a little bit."

Put those ingredients in a bowl and stir them together. Combine the sauce with two all-beef patties, cheese, onions, lettuce, pickles, and the classic signature sesame-seed bun to enjoy your own home cooked Big Mac.

 Now, you can make the secret ingredient that has enabled the fast-food giant to serve billions and billions worldwide.

"With food it's either contrasting flavors like sweet and sour," Coudreaut explained, "or it's contrasting flavors like tomato and basil. Here with the Big Mac sauce it's contrasting flavors."
