McDonald's is making bottles of its famous Big Mac sauce available in the US for the first time.

The fast-food chain will be offering 10,000 bottles of the sauce at restaurants nationwide and through its social media accounts starting January 26.

The company sold its first bottle of Big Mac sauce on eBay last year for more than $15,000.

Then it sold smaller bottles of the sauce at restaurants across Australia for 50 cents a piece.

This will be the first time that bottles of the Big Mac sauce will be available to customers in the US.

The company said its giving away the sauce "to continue to change expectations" following the release of its new "Grand Mac" and "Mac Jr."

"There’s still more to do and we’re always striving to be better, so we can’t wait to show you what’s next," the company said in a press release.
