Kellys Crispy Onion Rings Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat the oil to about 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk and eggs.
• In a bowl mix together the coating mixture, then place into a shallow dish (a shallow dish makes for easier coating of the rings).
• Dip/coat the onion rings into the buttermilk mixture.
• Then coat generously into the dry coating mixture.
• Fry briefly in hot oil (turning once) until onion rings are lightly brown on both sides.
• Delicious!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the flour with the paprika, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Whisk in the beer until the mixture is well combined. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 inches oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Trim the stems from the onions then peel. Slice the onions horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick rings and toss them with the remaining 1/2 cup flour in another large bowl.
• Working in batches, dip the onion rings into the batter, shaking off any excess (see Cook's Note), then immediately lower them into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, flipping once, until evenly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove the onions with a mesh spider or slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately season them with salt. Coat and fry the remaining onion rings, returning the oil to 375 degrees F between batches. Serve right away with spicy ketchup.

Steps:

• In a very large pot (or deep fryer), heat the oil to 365°.
• In a bowl, whisk the flour with the cornstarch, baking soda and 2 teaspoons of salt.
• Add 2 1/2 cups of the club soda and whisk until smooth; the batter should be thick but pourable. If needed, add the remaining 1/2 cup of club soda, a few tablespoons at a time.
• Working with 6 or 7 onion rings at a time, dip them in the batter until completely coated; as you pull the rings from the batter, scrape some of the excess against the side of the bowl.
• Carefully add the onion rings to the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes.
• Drain the onion rings on paper towels.
• Sprinkle the onion rings with salt and serve immediately or keep warm in an oven on low heat while you coat and fry the rest. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut onions into 1/2-in. slices; separate into rings and place in a bowl. Cover with ice water; soak for 30 minutes. Drain., In a small bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs, thyme, salt, paprika and pepper. Divide the crumb mixture among three large resealable plastic bags. Dip a third of the onions in the egg whites; add a few rings at a time to crumb mixture and shake to coat. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray., Repeat with remaining onions and crumb mixture. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
