Ingredients

Chili Sauce:

1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chili sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Onion Rings:

2 medium white or yellow onions
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Salt

Directions

Preheat oil to 360 degrees F.

To make the chili sauce, combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, chili powder, and cayenne in a small bowl and stir well. Cover and chill until serving time.

For the onion rings:

Slice the onions into very thin rings and separate the rings. Spread them out and sprinkle with seasoned salt. Place the flour in a re-sealable plastic bag. Put the onion rings, in batches, in the bag, close tightly, and shake until the onion rings are coated.

Pour the oil into a Dutch oven. Fry the onion rings in batches for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are brown and crispy. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.

Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Serve with chili sauce.

Fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made these last night, they were great! The dipping sauce was delicious as well. We used our Presto fryer set on high... 375. The onions cooked in about 4 Minutes. Here in WI we call these "haystack onion rings" they are not meant to be heavily battered or coated. This is one awsome recipe ! The sauce is so good I am trying to think of other uses for it.Read more

Also make a great mini burger topping!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Super yummmmy! I made these last night and did one batch soaked in milk then batter; then did a second batch in milk, then... batter, then beer, then batter again. They were delicious both ways! The onions soaked in beer were much thicker. We put the first batch on top of mini burgers along with the mayo dipping sauce, and they were the best mini burgs we've had in a long time! Will definitely make these again!Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I loved this recipe. We did cut the onions a little thicker and soaked them in milk first. I will make these... again. Read more

Onion Rings & Chili Sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Onion rings were great. Not thick and too heavy. The sauce was great with it as well. Made these for the SuperBowl and they... were all gone.Read more
