Thick slices of sweet onion dipped in batter and fried until golden, onion rings are the side people order when fries feel too ordinary.
There are two main styles. Battered rings use a wet coating, often made with beer, which puffs up into a light crunchy shell. Breaded rings go through flour, egg and crumbs and come out denser. Onion straws, thin and tangled, are a third way, and some places stack the rings into a tower served with ranch or a smoky sauce for dipping.
Rings lose their crunch faster than fries, so many kitchens send them in a vented box. The size of the order is what changes the price: on SemFood, 18 options from $3.99 to $11.99.
