    Pro-rip: remove the skin from the inside of each onion ring. There is a skin on each layer of the onion. Removing that eliminates the problem of biting into the onion ring and having the onion pull out of the coating. Yes, it's more work, but it's well worth it.
    Also no discussion of choosing the onions surprised me. Go with the sweetest onion you can find, IMO.

    A suggestion is to semi-freeze (not total freeze !) the whole onions. Then slice, and they are easly separated and holding their texture and shape, versus fresh or soggy-droopy onion rigns. The coating and deep frying keeps the moisture and juices inside of the coating for fully flavored onion rings (no dry or dehydrated onion skin rings !!!) and the coating picks up any further leaking juices - making the coatings that much more tasty and flavorful

    Is it just me or did they switch out the one they fried and used a different batch for the one they actually ate? Seems like the ones they fried had too little coating, compared to the ones they ate.
    Not complaining though, they could have said that you can add more coatings for a thicker coating. But if the ones they ate had 4 coatings instead of 2, like the ones they cooked, it's fine with me. I'll just add more coatings to my onion rings :)

      @@seanthemovieman7124 I think they did that so the final onion rings they showed would look nice, because the ones they prepared didn't look awesome enough for the camera.
      But i think they still used the same technique, maybe with more coatings. Because if they showed all 4 or 5 coatings on camera, that'll be a much longer and more repetitive video :)

Multiple dipping sauces and a cold beer. At least that’s how my mom would have done it. ❤ I absolutely love onion rings. If you really want to go crazy and have kids, TV trays and a video like the little mermaid or something. ❤

    Corn starch on the cut rings before a dredge will give you a great coating because it gives a surface for the batter to cling to, if you like some fat, thick crispy coating. And a cheap pale ale removes the need for any milk of any kind in the batter.

    This is obviously staged. The onion rings they fried have a very light coating which is almost coming off. But when they serve it for the taste test, it was a totally different onion rings with a much thicker coating. Which means their recipe is an utter failure! Recipes on UA-cam especially should be taken with a heap of salt.
