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.

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

    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.
