Recipe 01 \u2013 Identical Burger King onion rings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one will taste just like the real deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 1 large onion, sliced into 1\/4\u201d rings (sweet onions are better)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • All-purpose flour \u2013 1 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Baking powder \u2013 1 tablespoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Kosher salt \u2013 1 tablespoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 large egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • High-fat milk \u2013 1 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Breadcrumbs \u2013 1 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Canola oil (for frying)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Seasoned salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Set up your breading station<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Set up three bowls in a row. From left to right, they should be: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • flour, baking powder, and salt, <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • egg and milk, <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • breadcrumbs. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Gently whisk each bowl to combine the ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Set up a holding area<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          You\u2019ll need a place to keep the battered rings before you pop them into the fryer. Place some paper towels on a tray with a wire rack on top. That’ll keep your whole process smooth. Plus, there will be less of a mess to clean up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Heat your oil <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            You\u2019ll need to keep the oil at just the right sweet spot. Use a cooking thermometer for this. Ideally, you should try to keep the oil at around 185\u00b0C (365\u00b0<\/strong>F). As you\u2019re frying, you might notice the temperature dipping. In that case, just wait between batches for the oil to heat back up. And of course, use your eyes\u2014check if the rings are coming out right as you go along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Coat your onion rings<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              There are a lot of ways you can coat your rings. But to get that authentic Burger King look and taste, try this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Take each ring and dip it in this order exactly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Flour mixture<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Milk\/egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Flour mixture<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Milk\/egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Breadcrumbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                At every stage, be sure to thoroughly coat each ring. Especially at the breadcrumb stage. Make sure you get the insides as well as the outsides. You can try gently pressing breadcrumbs around the outside of the rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Cook your onion rings<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Last but not least, the frying step. Place a few rings at a time into your heated oil. Let them cook for around 2 to 3 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Once the outside is a beautiful golden-brown color, remove your cooked onion rings and place them on a plate or tray with paper towels to absorb the oiliness. Don\u2019t forget to add salt to taste while they\u2019re still hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  And that\u2019s it! You should be left with some onion rings that even the Burger King himself would be proud of. Now, let\u2019s look at a healthier, fat-free, vegan version of the onion rings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Recipe 02 \u2013 Healthy, fat-free, vegan onion rings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Onion rings aren\u2019t an everyday snack. After all, they do fall into the junk food category. But if you ever feel the need to indulge guilt-free, try this healthier recipe. We\u2019ve kept it short so you can start snacking that much sooner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  (Note that we\u2019ll be using an oven to cook the onion rings.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Yellow onions, sliced into 1\/4\u201d rings \u2013 2 to 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    For the wet mix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    • Flour of Choice (All-Purpose, Spelt, GF, etc) \u2013 1\/2 cup <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Unsweetened Plant Milk \u2013 2\/3 cup <\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Paprika \u2013 \u00bd teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Turmeric \u2013 \u00bc teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Salt \u2013 \u00bd teaspoon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      For the dry mix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                      • Panko breadcrumbs (vegan) \u2013 1 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Paprika \u2013 \u00bd teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Turmeric \u2013 \u00bc teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Salt \u2013 \u00bc teaspoon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                        Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        1. Preheat your oven to 230\u00b0C (450\u00b0F).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        2. Follow all the set-up steps for the previous recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        3. Add all the wet mix ingredients to a bowl and mix them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        4. Do the same for the dry mix ingredients. Then separate the dry mix ingredients into two separate bowls. This prevents the whole mixture from getting sticky and unusable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        5. Dip each ring into first the wet mix, then the dry mix. Use separate hands for each mix. Afterward, place the ring in the holding area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        6. Bake your rings in the pre-heated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Be sure to use a greased or lined baking tray.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        7. Serve while warm!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                          And that\u2019s the other way to make delicious onion rings at home. Go for the healthy recipe or the Burger King copycat recipe as your heart (and stomach) desires!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Final thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                          As with anything, moderation is key. Don\u2019t have onion rings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But now and then, when you feel the craving for some fried yummies, why not sink your teeth into some crunchy, crispy homemade Burger King-style onion rings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
