Ingredients

Scale
  • Large yellow onions, thickly sliced into ½-inch rings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cold beer (lager or pilsner recommended)
  • Vegetable oil for frying (peanut or canola oil preferred)
  • For chipotle ranch dipping sauce:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1–2 tsp finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice onions into ½-inch thick rings. Separate rings carefully and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to blend.
  3. Slowly pour in cold beer while stirring gently until batter is thick enough to coat but still slightly runny. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Dust onion rings lightly with flour to help batter stick.
  6. Dip each onion ring fully into the beer batter.
  7. Fry rings in batches, avoiding overcrowding, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through.
  8. Remove rings with tongs or slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt.
  9. To make chipotle ranch, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning, chipotle peppers, lime juice, and garlic powder in a bowl. Chill until serving.

Notes

Keep the batter cold before frying for extra crispiness. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt rings. Use a wire rack to drain excess oil to keep rings crisp. The chipotle ranch dip tastes better after chilling for a few hours or overnight. For a gluten-free version, substitute flour and beer accordingly. Baking option available at 425°F for 15-20 minutes for a less oily snack.
