Ingredients
Spiced Ketchup:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
Onion Rings:
- Vegetable or peanut oil, for fryer
- 3 large yellow onions, sliced 1/8-inch thick, in a bowl of ice water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 gallon ice water
Directions
For the spiced ketchup: In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, mustard and Sriracha, stirring well. Then refrigerate until serving.
For the onion rings: Preheat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F with vegetable or peanut oil, waiting until heated. Next, drain the ice water from the cut onions, ensuring the water has drained. Next, in a bowl, blend the flour, salt and pepper, mixing well. Then add one-third of the onions. Mix the onions well, tap off excess flour and then add to the fryer, cooking until crisp, about 2 minutes. After removing, allow to drain excess oil on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve with the spiced ketchup.

I thought they were good-in the RI show they were very thin, if having them just as a snack then I prefer them thicker and battered. I made the ketchup with just dry mustard which added enough spice for me.

In most restaurants the onions for rings were cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Ends and small rings were separated and chopped for other uses. If the onions make you cry, soak them! If you’re really picky about the result, pull the slippery membrane off the inside of each ring. It helps the batter or breading stick. Some places use buttermilk to adhere to the breading, some use a mixture of milk and eggs. The crust ingredients depend on what you like. Some like a rough, crunchy texture and use breadcrumbs. For a smoother but crunchy texture use corn meal mixed one to one with flour. For a more tender ring use all flour, or add half cornstarch for more delicate.crispness. There are those for whom only batter will do. Some of those like thick beer batter, others like thin tempura made of rice flour and club soda. Experiment! And season! Never settle for those freezer burned, chopped onion Franken-rings at the grocery store! Find the onion ring that really does it for YOU!

@Catherine,
I had the same effect with 1/8" cut. Definitely not a two minute fry, and our fryers are set at 350, not 375.
So my question would then be, how long do we soak the onions? When I tried it, I cut them and placed in the ice water, but could not get the flour to stick. I only had them in the water for maybe 5-10 minutes while I prepared the seasoned flour.
