Tips in Making Burger King Onion Rings

You must have been having a bite of it when you started to wonder what burger king onion rings are made of. Here are some tips to make your bk onion rings taste like you just ordered them from the burger king menu!

Choose the right onion. Use white onions which have a light, mild, and sweeter taste compared to yellow onions. Although there are similarities between the two, you can use yellow onions if you’re opting for a stronger onion flavor.
Soak your onions in cold water for a sweeter and milder taste. Do this for 30 minutes to 1 hour after peeling. This process subdues their sharp taste and allows their natural sweetness to dominate.
Deep-fry them at a high temperature. This will give your onion rings a nice crispy golden brown exterior with a tender interior. Frying them in low oil temperature will result in a soaked and soggy onion ring, which is not enticing to consume.
Remove the excess grease with paper towels before you serve your onion rings. This is to prevent the crust to absorb excess oil which will eventually result in your onion rings losing their crispness. Make sure to keep your onion rings warm if you’re not serving them immediately.

Preparing an appetizing snack has never been this easy and tempting before. Complete the burger king experience by pairing these onion rings with zesty sauce and BK’s chicken nuggets!

Commonly Asked Questions

Why is the batter falling off my onion rings?

This is a sign that there was extra moisture on your onion before you covered it with the wet batter. You can easily avoid this by eliminating the moisture. Achieve this by covering your onions with a drying agent such as dry flour or cornstarch. Dehydrating onions is also a good option.

How to reheat onion rings and ensure they remain crispy?

Preheat your oven at 350 degrees F while you heat your onion rings in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Once done, place it in a lined baking pan and bake it in the oven for 5 minutes or until it’s hot and crispy again.
