Think again, friend-o, because you totally can. All you have to do is coat it in Panko breadcrumbs, deep fry it, put it on a stick, and throw some Big Mac sauce on top, like the intrepid chef at [Peep My Eats](http://peepmyeats.com/2015/06/24/deep-fried-big-mac/) did. Behold: That’s the deep-fried burger, fully intact. Here’s what it looks like on the inside: Some people think it looks [horrifying](https://twitter.com/Maserati%5F%5F%5F/status/613736051459379200), but others are [totally into it](https://twitter.com/MartyGuilfoyle/status/614054871390658561). If you too are intrigued, check out [the recipe](http://peepmyeats.com/2015/06/24/deep-fried-big-mac/). You’ll just need eggs, Panko breadcrumbs, toothpicks and, of course, one Big Mac. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3938579/deep-fried-mcdonalds-big-mac/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3938579/deep-fried-mcdonalds-big-mac/"},"headline":"In Case You Were Wondering, This Is What a Deep-Fried Big Mac Looks Like","datePublished":"2015-06-26T21:19:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:22.470Z","description":"Delicious or repulsive?
