Recreating the famous McDonald's onions in your own kitchen is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Start by filling a glass jar with your desired amount of minced onions. Feel free to choose any brand you like. Kim suggests using your judgement or personal preference.

2. Next, pour boiling hot water over the minced onions in the jar.

3. Allow the onions to hydrate and sit in the hot water for about 15 minutes.

4. Once the time has passed, carefully drain the water from the jar using a paper towel.

5. And there you have it – your very own Macca's-style onions, all ready to be added to your homemade burgers! Enjoy the mouth-watering taste of McDonald's right in the comfort of your own home.
