Onion rings are a popular appetizer served at many restaurants for two reasons. One, everyone loves them, and two, they're easy to prepare. It's as simple as slicing onions, making a batter, and frying!

My favorite way to prepare onion rings (as well as fish for fish tacos) is to use a beer batter. In my experience, beer batters yield a crispier food that actually stays crispy even after a good amount of time. I served the leftover beer battered onion rings to a friend several hours later and I could still hear the crunch from the batter! Delicious and easy to prepare.

¼ cup ketchup

Onion rings

Oil for frying
1 cup beer
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Make the chipotle ketchup by whisking together the pureed chipotle with ketchup. Set aside.
Preheat frying oil to 375 degrees.
Prepare the batter by whisking together beer with flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip the sliced onion rings into the batter, making sure to evenly coat the onion.

Repeat with remaining onion. Serve with chipotle ketchup.

Sounds wonderful! Where does the flour come in....mixed with the salt, pepper and beer? Or coating done before salt, pepper, beer?

  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that because they referred to it as a batter, I think all the dry ingredients are whisked together, and then I would add beer, and fry baby fry ! 🙂

  I had the same question, then went back and looked again. It says whisk together beer - salt and pepper. I believe the - means through. i.e. beer through salt and pepper. I should have realized this as my families restaurant serves Awesome onion rings.

  The photos show the onions being dipped in "batter", so I'm thinking all dry ingredients are whisked together then add the beer 🙂

  Looks like they updated it. Now it says “Prepare the batter by whisking together beer with flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.”

According to the directions the salt and pepper are added to the beer, not the four? and the paprika and garlic powder are not mentioned in the directions.

  It says whisk together beer "-" (which I believe means through) salt and pepper to make the batter.
