McRib returns to McDonald's menu, plus how to get a jug of the iconic sauce

Attention McDonald's super fans: The Golden Arches announced the return of its saucy fan-favorite menu item -- the McRib -- along with a new drop of a 64-ounce jug of the tangy condiment and key ingredient for the sandwich.

McRib will return Dec. 3 at McDonald's

Starting Dec. 3, the McRib will return to menus at participating McDonald's restaurants for a limited time.

For the first time, customers can also purchase a jug of the iconic sauce thanks to a new limited-time, online-only drop for A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce.

"The McRib is more than a sandwich -- it's a part of culture, it's a legend, it's an event," CMO Tariq Hassan said in a statement. "McRib SZN is a holiday unto itself, so we wanted to embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate this year with A Whole Lotta McRib Sauce."

The sauce jugs will be available online only for $19.99 each starting Nov. 25 at 10 a.m. ET, while supplies last.
