I like big thick rings. Big slice of onion, just enough batter to make it crispy but not so much that it's 80% batter.

the ratio is what matters. if not this, you go for the very thick-cut, beer-battered ones

i have made many of them, and people seem to prefer the thin and light ones. like pic related

I know so many places near me just phone it in it's terrible. I had sworn off the little caesars but my roommate went last week. I should have taken a picture. we split a supreme deep dish (not cheap, but it's what I wanted) it had raw dough under the toppings. jesus christ. one time they forgot to cut the pizza. who even does that?

>> No.14241709

also a sharper onion like a white onion is so much better, especially if you are going to use ketchup

I'm not sure how to describe it other than the fact I hate biting into a soggy onion inside of the batter. That's why I hate sonic's onion rings.

sonic doesn't really cook much at their locations, they've optimized pre-made foods as much as they can. you're complaining that the shit you bought is shit.

Actual fucking rings of a cut up onion, not that "ground up paste made from onion" shit that practically every company sells nowadays.


Even in my backwards podunk town I lived in when I was a kid, there was a single restaurant that still sold actual onion rings. I miss them.

I admit, it's only anecdotal evidence from friends that worked there. You ever see any fresh produce go into those tiny kitchens? They fry frozen par-fried onion rings and tater tots like most other chains. I'll assume you suck 20 cocks daily unless you can prove otherwise

This >>14241199 and this >>14242882 are the two biggest criteria.

Other than that, I prefer panko breading to a beer batter. I know beer battered onions rings are widely considered the gold standard but I just prefer the heartier crunch you get from panko and I feel the aroma of beer detracts from the onion flavor.

The Habit Burger Grill makes the best onion rings I've tried.

my evidence is also anecdotal and also from my roommate who worked at a sonic about 11 years ago but they double breaded the onion rings and made them in store.

I only heard the worst of it probably. Like they don't even use ice cream in some of their shakes anymore, just flavored powder. I came in hot and let ck get the best of me, i'm sorry. you probably don't even suck more than 5 cocks a day ;)

I used to love these until I was 16. Then I went to an Outback Steakhouse and was severely disappointed with all of the food. I haven't been there since.
