Everyone has their go-to McDonald's order – whether it's a Big Mac or a Chicken Nugget meal. But now, McDonald's crew members have been sharing 'secret menu items' that could knock your favourites out of their top spots.

Taking to Reddit's McDonald'sEmployees thread, one interested diner asked: "Workers of McDonald's, tell me about your best secret creation menu items. Breaks, openings, closing – what do you make for yourself?" In response, one worker said: "I always make myself a McDouble Only lettuce, Mac sauce, And cheese (of course), And one strip of bacon."

Another added: "Sausage muffin on the value menu is cheaper than a sausage patty at my store. They took down the triple stack muffin/griddle/biscuit because of price problems. But if you make a sausage egg McMuffin and a sausage McMuffin with no muffin, add bacon - it's the cheapest alternative."

A third employee said: "My coworker makes what he calls Big Chicken. It's a Big Mac but with crispy chicken patties and mayo instead of 10-1 meat and Mac sauce." One more added: "McChicken add pickles, Big Mac sauce, and two strips of bacon. It’s amazing!"

A fifth worker said: " I never would've found out about spicy pepper sauce and crinkle cut pickles, if it wasn't for a co-worker of mine who happens to be a chef, as he made his master sandwich with some other bun, crinkle cut pickles, spicy pepper sauce, and I don't know what else he added to his McChicken. Oof thank the universe, a fine chef was sent to our store."

But when it comes to drinks, another worker swears by a "green tea red Fruitopia". They said: "During overnights, I love making myself a little green tea red Fruitopia drink. I basically take a large clear cup, fill just the bottom with boiling water, add two green tea bags, and let it sit for a few minutes, then I fill the rest of the cup with red Fruitopia. I also like making a vanilla chai frappe with Oreo bits mixed in." Sharing a different drink, another added: "Caramel frap with two expresso shots."
