These beer battered onion rings are the perfect appetizer or side dish.
Not only are these the easiest Beer Battered Onion Rings recipe, but they are hands down the best! They are so good, that a dip is not even needed.
These rings are the perfect appetizer or paired with a main dish. With just a few simple ingredients you can whip a tasty appetizer or side dish.
With the combination of your favorite beer and slices of a sweet onion make up the crispy texture. With a touch of Cholula hot sauce, gives it an added kick of flavor. This is by far my favorite homemade onion rings recipe.
Recipe Tips
Can use non-alcoholic beer as a substitute
Any type of onion works, but I prefer sweet onions because they have the most flavor.
Best to use oil with a high smoke point like canola oil, peanut oil or vegetable oil.
It’s best to keep the oil temperature at 375 degree. Cooking with a dutch oven will help because they typically can hold a consistent heat.
Fry in batches. It’s best not to overcrowd the pot because the temperature will drop and make the onion rings soggy.
How do you store beer-battered onion rings?
You can store leftover onion rings in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best to rehear them in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes. This will get that crispy onion rings texture we all enjoy.
How Do You Make Beer Battered Onion Rings?
Ingredients needed:
1 white onion, sliced
1 cup self-rising flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tsp salt
1 cup Shiner beer
1 tsp Cholula
Vegetable oil for frying
How to make Onion Rings Beer Batter
Separate onion into rings.
In a large bowl, combine onion and 2 tablespoons flour.
In separate bowl, combine remaining 1 cup flour, cornmeal and salt.
Add beer and Cholula, whisking until combined.
In large skillet heat oil.
In batches, remove onion rings and dip in beer mixture.
Carefully place in hot oil and fry until golden brown (approximately 3 minutes.)
Place on a paper towel covered wire rack while working in small batches. This will help soak up any excess grease.
Serve hot and with your favorite dipping sauce.
Pro tip: If you aren’t a fan of beer or don’t have any in the fridge, you can use a carbonated beverage as a substitute. Anything from soda, club soda or ginger ale will work.
If you are looking for onion rings with a little more kick, you can add in dry ingredients like cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper into the batter ingredients.
What to serve with onion rings?
Pair this tasty recipe with smoked bacon BBQ sliders and you have the ultimate meal. Perfect for a party or game day snack. These are also a great alternative to French fries.
