Best 2 Hot Onion Rings Recipes

Crispy hot onion rings are a delicious treat perfect for parties, snacks or as part of a larger meal. They can be made with fresh onions, frozen onions or pre-made onion rings. The key to making the perfect onion ring is to get the coating just right. It should be light and crispy, not too thick or heavy. The best way to do this is to use a combination of flour, cornstarch and spices. The cornstarch helps to create a crispy coating, while the flour helps to hold the coating together. Once the onion rings are coated, they can be fried in oil until golden brown.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup beer
2 eggs
Generous pinch of cayenne, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 quarts peanut or canola oil for frying
3 large sweet onions, approximately 1 1/2 pounds, peeled and sliced thinly into rings

Steps:

In a bowl, mix together the flour, beer, eggs, pepper, salt and Worcestershire sauce. In a deep-fryer or in a large heavy pot, heat the oil. It should be at least 3 inches deep, but more is better. When the oil is hot, drop in a teaspoon of batter to be sure it sizzles.
Gently drop the rings into batter and cook until nicely browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon or spider strainer. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Tips:

For extra crispy onion rings, double coat them in the breadcrumb mixture.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To make sure the onion rings are cooked evenly, flip them halfway through frying.
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
For a healthier version of onion rings, bake them in the oven instead of frying them.
