Crispy Onion Rings – The crowd-pleasing party snack

Every steak comes with them, burgers are improved by them and no pub grub is complete without them. Onion rings are the highlight of any meal, be it a big steak or as a side to your spicy chicken wings. There are different types of onion rings. You mostly find the thin, shoestring rings or the big, battered wings. Our Crispy Onion Rings bring you those big ol’ rings that you can almost play games with. They are soft on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside.

When separating and soaking your onion rings, make sure to remove the thin membranes between them. This will make sure that your batter doesn’t slide off when frying. The batter contains all of the classics, but we’ve added some paprika to the mixture for a bit of spice to the party. You can make as many as you want to, but don’t overcrowd the oil otherwise you’ll get uneven cooking of the rings. Serve them up while they’re still hot and you’ll think that you’re having them at a restaurant.

The perfect companion to party snacks, burgers and a juicy steak, these homemade Crispy Onion Rings are going to blow your mind.
