The McDonald’s menu is a playground for food hacks, and the latest trend on TikTok is elevating your McDonald’s fries.
While McDonald’s fries are already known for their crispy texture and salty flavor, there’s a simple upgrade that involves a secret seasoning request. This hack, originally created by Mike Haracz, a former McDonald’s chef, was featured in a TikTok by HealthyJunkFood, an account dedicated to trying out food hacks.
The technique is straightforward: when ordering your fries, request Angus seasoning instead of the usual salt.

In the video, the TikToker requests the burger seasoning on her fries and even asks for some on the side. Despite the fries looking standard, she describes the taste as “elevated McDonald’s.”
Comments from viewers shed light on the ingredients, with one former employee confirming, “Our burger seasoning is just salt and pepper mixed.” Another viewer speculated that MSG and red pepper flakes could enhance the flavor.
So what makes this simple seasoning so enjoyable? The likely reason is that when you customize your fries, the staff must prepare a fresh batch, ensuring they’re always hot and crispy.
However, trying this hack may depend on the staff at your local McDonald’s. Many fans were eager to give it a go but faced refusals. One comment read, “I asked at my local Macca’s today and they said no.” Another added, “The Macca’s workers have no idea what Angus seasoning is, I’ve never been so embarrassed.”
Additionally, McDonald’s fans have more to celebrate, as the chain has recently announced the extension of their $5 meal deal along with other fantastic savings.
