Beer Battered Onion Rings

These onion rings are the perfect side to a burger or appetizer for a football game party!

I believe this was my first time making homemade onion rings and it was fairly successful. I started off in my deep fryer but it was hard to make these in the basket, so I switched to the pot and it was so much better. I just used my tongs and spider in the pot to maneuver the onion rings as they fried. I loved the flavoring of the garlic and paprika with the beer. Overall, this recipe was easier and much more addictive that I had anticipated.

What you need:

• 2 cups all purpose flour, divided
• 2 tsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 12 oz. pale ale beer
• 2 large yellow onions
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1. Whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour with paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. Whisk in beer until well combined and then let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3. Peel onion and slice into 1/2-inch thick rings. Toss with 1/2 cup flour.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat to 375 degrees.
5. In batches, dip onion rings into batter and shake off any excess. 
6. Then immediately fry until golden brown on each side, flipping once during total frying time.
7. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
8. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Recipe from Just a Taste

Onion rings are amazing, but I love fried pickles too - including these Copycat Hooter's Fried Pickles. I cannot get over how yummy these Emeril's Light and Crispy Onion Rings look from Foodess.
