What kind of onion is best for onion rings?
There are lots of different types of onions that you could use for onion rings, but the best kind is a sweet onion. Sweet onions have a lower water content than other kinds of onions, which means theyll get nice and crispy when theyre fried.
If you cant find a sweet onion, you can also use a white onion. Just be sure to slice it thinly so it will cook evenly.

How to keep batter from falling off onion rings:
To keep your batter from falling off of your onion rings, make sure to coat them evenly and thoroughly. If its not hot enough, the batter will start to absorb into the onion and wont be as crispy.
For extra crispy onion rings, you can try double dipping them. First, dip them in a coating of flour or cornstarch, then dip them in the batter. This creates a barrier between the onion and the batter so that less oil is absorbed for a crispier result.
Another way to achieve ultra crispy results is to bake your onion rings. This requires a bit more work as you have to coat the onion rings in bread crumbs or panko, but its worth it for that extra crunch.
Also, if youre using a dipping sauce, make sure its not too thick or the batter will fall off. A thinned out BBQ sauce, ketchup or my homemade zesty sauce works well.
