Beer Battered Onion Rings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These delicious onion rings start with sliced onions that are separated into rings. Sweet onions are the best, but you can actually change up the flavor if you want to try different kinds of onions. From there, I coat the onion rings in a delicious beer batter seasoned with paprika, garlic salt, and zesty Slap Ya Mama seasoning. After that, I fry them to golden brown perfection and serve them with dipping sauce, burgers and hot dogs, or both. It’s a delicious recipe that’s so easy to make and so popular with everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Tempura mix<\/strong> is a type of batter that is made with flour, eggs, and water. It helps to create a crispy coating on the onion rings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Beer<\/strong> helps to make the tempura batter light and airy, and it also adds flavor to the onion rings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Beer Battered Onion Rings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Making these onion rings couldn’t be easier. It only takes a few minutes and a few simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Make the Beer Batter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Whisk the dry batter ingredients together in a medium bowl. Then, slowly add the beer, stirring until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Dip and Fry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Dip each onion ring into the batter, letting the excess drip off. Then, add a few onion rings at a time to a large saucepan with hot oil. Fry for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat until all onion rings are fried. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Use a sharp knife so the onions cut easily with no ripping or tearing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The rings should be \u00bd-inch wide to adequately hold the batter and stand up to frying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Don’t just dump the beer into the dry ingredients. Add it slowly so everything combines evenly for a smooth batter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
When deep frying onion rings, work in batches. It is important not overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding the pan will lower the oil temperature, which will result in soggy and greasy onion rings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Try using different kinds of onions for different onion ring flavors. Sweet, red, white, and yellow onions all create different onion ring flavors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
For an extra kick in your batter, add some cayenne pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t have garlic salt, just add \u00bd teaspoon garlic powder and \u00bd teaspoon salt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Recipe FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What is the best beer for beer battered onion rings?<\/strong>
Any pale-colored beer will work well for beer batter. Stay away from dark beers.<\/p> <\/div>
What does beer do in frying batter?<\/strong>
Beer creates a batter coating that’s crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. The carbonation makes the batter slightly more acidic which creates a more tender coating, and the bubbles provide lift as the batter fries.<\/p> <\/div>
How do you get batter to stick to onion rings?<\/strong>
Refrigerate the batter. Cold batter adheres to the onion rings more easily while they fry.<\/p> <\/div>
What are the best onions to use for onion rings?<\/strong>
While any onion can be used for onion rings, the classic onion ring flavor is best achieved with sweet onions.<\/p> <\/div>
What can you use instead of beer to make onion ring batter?<\/strong>
For batters that use light beer, use chicken broth, ginger ale, white grape juice, or white wine. For batters that use dark beer, use beef broth, chicken broth, mushroom stock, apple juice, apple cider, root beer, or a pop like Coca Cola.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
