Best 9 Chili Onion Rings Recipes

OLD FASHIONED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
• Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

ONION RINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Optional: Soak onions in ice water for 15 minutes and pat them completely dry before frying. This neutralizes the flavors and brings out a hint of sweetness instead of a harsher bite. It also makes them a bit crunchier.
• Place cooling racks over a baking sheet next to where you'll be frying.
• Peel the onion and position it so the stem is facing outward (not up or down). Slice onions into ½ inch thick slices and separate the slices into rings. (See post for step by step photos and PRO tips for cutting onion rings.)
• Toss thein cornstarch. This helps the batter stick to the onions. It also absorbs moisture and prevents gluten from developing, which makes them crispier.
• Whisk the 1 ½ cups flour and remaining dry ingredients together until well-combined. Gradually pour in the beer, whisking continuously. Add up to 2 additional tablespoons of flour if needed. The consistency should resemble a thin pancake batter.
• Heat oil to 365-375 degrees. Dip 4-5 onion rings in batter and gently shake off any excess. Carefully lower them, one at a time, into the preheated oil. If the oil is at the right temperature, they should rise to the top almost immediately. If it's not, they'll sink and stick to the bottom and the batter will fall off.
• Fry for about 1 minute + 20 seconds. Flip them over when the first side is golden brown. Cook for another 45 seconds or so, then remove and place on cooling racks. (I find that using a fork is the best way to handle them.)
• Repeat until all onion rings have been fried. Serve with dipping sauce. (Ketchup, Ranch, BBQ Sauce, or a combination sauces!)
• PRO Tip: To keep fried onion rings warm, place the cooling rack with the onion rings in a 200-degree oven.

ONION STRINGS

Steps:

• Begin by peeling the onions and slicing very thinly, use a mandoline slicer if you can. Separate the onion slices and place them in a shallow baking dish and pour the buttermilk over the top. Press the onions down so they're submerged as much as possible and let them soak on the counter for at least an hour. If necessary, stir them around a bit halfway through the soaking process.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne, and set aside.
• Pour 1 to 2 quarts canola oil in a pot or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees F, or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled over the pot.
• Using tongs, remove a handful of onions from the buttermilk and immediately dunk into the flour mixture. Coat the onions in the flour mixture, and then tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
• Plunge the onions in the hot oil. With a spoon, fiddle with them a bit just to break them up, and watch them! They'll be ready to remove from the oil in no time flat.
• When they're golden brown (this should take just a minute or two), remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Repeat with the remaining onion slices and serve immediately.
• Pile these on top of a juicy grilled hamburger - to die for!

SPICED BURGERS WITH CHILI ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the poblano on a baking sheet and broil, turning, until charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Reduce the oven temperature and bake the onion rings as the label directs. Season with salt, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon each chili powder and cumin.
• Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, cilantro, a pinch of lime zest and half of the lime juice in a small bowl; add more lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Mix the ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon lime zest and the remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons chili powder and 3/4 teaspoon cumin in a large bowl with your hands until just combined. Form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties; season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Peel, stem and seed the broiled poblano; cut into strips. Place the burgers on the buns with the ketchup sauce, lettuce and poblano. Serve with the onion rings and the remaining ketchup sauce.

GUACAMOLE ONION RINGS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, mash avocados with the juice of one lime. Mix in chopped tomato, cilantro, garlic, salt, and chili powder.
• Cut onion into ½-inch (1 cm) slices. Carefully separate the layers into individual rings. On a wax paper-lined tray, lay out onion rings and fill each with guacamole. Place tray in freezer until solid (about one hour).
• Add flour, beaten eggs, and panko bread crumbs to three separate bowls. Remove frozen guacamole rings from freezer. Roll each first in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Coat once more in egg and a final time in bread crumbs.
• In a large saucepan, heat oil to 350˚F (180˚C). Fry guacamole onion rings in batches until nicely browned on all sides.
• Place on paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and lime juice. Serve with sour cream.

BEST EVER ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, and onion salt in a bowl to make a smooth batter.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep fryer until a thermometer reads 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dip the onion rings evenly into the batter, then fry in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, working in batches if necessary, until the onion rings are golden brown. With a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.

CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
• Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
• In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
• Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

GEORGE'S HOMEMADE ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Remove the outer skins from the onions. Slice the onions into 1/4-inch-thick slices and separate into rings. Combine the buttermilk and 3 tablespoons salt in a large bowl. Put the flour in a second large bowl and the cracker meal in a third large bowl.
• Working in handful-size batches, dip the onion rings in the buttermilk until all are moistened, then put in the bowl of flour and use your hands to dust with the flour to coat. Carefully shake off excess flour and then quickly dip the rings back in the buttermilk to moisten once again. Put the rings in the bowl of cracker meal and use your hands to dust with the meal to coat. Carefully shake off excess meal from each ring and transfer to a shallow pan or baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining rings so all are dipped and coated. Refrigerate the rings for at least 4 hours to set the coating (overnight is best).
• Heat the oil in an electric deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Gently drop enough of the coated rings into the fryer basket so that it is two-thirds full. Lower the basket into the hot oil and cook the rings until lightly golden brown, about 2 1/2 minutes. Remove the basket and shake off the excess oil, or allow the basket to rest until the basket has stopped dripping. Turn the basket over or use tongs to remove the rings and place them on a large plate or serving tray. Repeat with the remaining onion rings. Salt to taste or allow each person to season individually. Serve with ketchup or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired. Best served warm.
