Onion Rings

[thatbastardson]

no baking powder for the "puff"?

[kooktocook]

@thatbastardson No this is more of a sticky batter that crisps up. A flour coating I would add a bit of BP. cheers! KtC

[AFlashInThePan]

Try them with RANCH DRESSING!!!

[BlizzardFan1991]

the key is to batter/ refridgerate for 30 mins and batter, refridge for 30 mins and then batter then refridgerate then cook

[kooktocook]

@BlizzardFan1991 I use a similar method with other fried foods (see my jalapeno poppers). Not the rings (and some other veggies) though. This works quite well. The sticky batter does the trick. Thanks for sharing. KtC

[damoniegetta]

one at a time??? suck it.

[kooktocook]

@damoniegetta By all means cook em all up the entire time in a deep fryer. This uses very little oil and works everytime. Not everyone wants a big pot of oil around. The method is about 20% here the batter is the gold. cheers, KtC

[damoniegetta]

@kooktocook i do like your batter. Just being impatient over here, you know how it is.

[kooktocook]

@damoniegetta Yes, I know how it is. cheers, KtC

[hugec4]

can i come to your house and eat?

[TrilogyofC]

Thank you! Out of all the tutorials you are the only one that has showed how to make the batter coating of the onion tings and also kept this plain, simple and easy to follow. Good work!

[kooktocook]

@TrilogyofC I appreciate your comment. Some recipes call for a watery type batter and this is incorrect. It should be more sticky and gluey as they are a vegetable. Some folks coat them with a bit of flour first and that is okay as long as it isn't too much. This is an old straight forward batter recipe created particularly for onion rings. I have made them this way for years.

cheers! KtC

[sonex1203]

@kooktocook if you want it to be thick use instant mashed potatos

[HALLSYSKITCHEN]

looks darn good...thanks

[kooktocook]

@HALLSYSKITCHEN Nice quick ring. Thank you Hallsy! KtC

[cipher2]

Finally a simple short onion ring recipe TUT without the need for 10 different exotic seasonings you don't really need. Thank you so much for this TUT, now I can finally eat!!!

[kooktocook]

@cipher2 Anytime! Thanks for comment. Yes, a nice easy recipe. cheers! KtC

[evilscotsman88]

Dipping in Mayo is also good.  XD

[kooktocook]

@evilscotsman88 Mayo is certainly good. There is a mayo-horseraddish dip that is tasty too. thanks mate, KtC

[signalrambo]

That is a great idea, to simple dunk them in oil then bake them. They looked good.

[kooktocook]

@signalrambo Yep, that's basically it. You will find they always turn out pretty good this way. A deep fryer isn't always availble for some folks and they do require a lot of oil at times, so I posted this method. thanks, cheers! KtC

[NyulaRaeGlamour]

lol i tried one time making these only i baked them to make it a lil healthy, they were good but they tasted kinda dry lolo

[kooktocook]

@NyulaRaeGlamour I actually just put them in the oil for a second or two and then bake them. I do this for three reasons; 1. less oil soaks into the food, 2. little oil is required as opposed to a deep fryer, 3. They turn out great all the time (folks will either over/ under cook them in a fryer or place too many in the oil making them soggy). I use a fryer alot myself but I have made them hundreds of times. I wanted to show an easy/ no mess/ little oil method).

cheers, KtC

[ArrcanarStudios]

I serve it with wine and tartar sauce.

[runescapeaddict111]

OOOOHHH MMMYYY GOOODD I WAANTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuneHells]

This goes well with the sausage rolls and mozzarella sticks =)

[kooktocook]

@RuneHells Oh yeahhhhh :) Any kind of foods like that. I stack'em on a burger now and then. cheers! KtC

[revenant101]

watched a few of your vids KtC, can't wait to try a some out!

/subscribed.

[kooktocook]

@revenant101 Hi and welcome! Thank you for the sub and comment. Any question? I will try to answer. Enjoy the videos (Informative, gonzo edited and at times, just silly) cheers! KtC

[omnion1990]

im drooling

[ThaddeusMaximus909]

could I just fry them?

[kooktocook]

@ThaddeusMaximus909 The best onion rings are deep fried. This recipe is a compromise on obtaining perfect results and using very little oil (rings for two so to speak). You can drop them in a skillet with oil for a minute then pop them in the oven. You can certainly just deep fry them (dozen or so at a time) if you want (in a lot more oil) for about 6 to 8 minutes. Great both ways. cheers! KtC

[ratmq]

I am really LOVING these recipes.....They're clear and to the point.....And look DANG Tasty.......Well done, and Thanks!

[kooktocook]

@ratmq There should be a recipe here for everyone. Happy to share them with you. Thank you very much and have a great day! cheers, KtC

[XxXktoonyXxX]

The foods you make look really yummy!!!

[kooktocook]

@XxXktoonyXxX Well thank you. I appreciate your thoughts. cheers! KtC

[Raigeki190]

lmfao i was like WTF when i thought it was gonna be done in 10 seconds

[kooktocook]

@Raigeki190 lol. Use little oil/ crispen them up and bake them. There are traditional methods but this is low on the oil required and 'always works' (great rings) for a serving or two. cheers! KtC

[Lula1789]

wow delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you're driving me crazy I'm hungry jijijijijijijijijiji

[SoulfreshhPwns]

deee licious!

[kooktocook]

@SoulfreshhPwns Nice easy onion rings. cheers! KtC

[krazycore]

dud I haven't eat anything all day and your channel drives me nuts right now...

god I wish I can just grab food from the screen!

[kooktocook]

lol. It happens to me too. Thank you for commenting and the visit. cheers! KtC

[petitetouale]

Hi! I tried this recipe but the batter wasn't sticking enough to the onion rings so they came out not well coated. Do you have any advice?

[MohanndasChutney]

Try tossing with dry ingredients first (salt, pepper, flour, spice) then dipping in an egg white + milk mixture and dipping again in breadcrumbs or more flour. That layering helps the batter/crumb stick.

I do a one step batter like in the video sometimes, but I'm not really a stickler for even coating. It's all about the onion for me.

[kooktocook]

thanks for the tips. I prepare that way too at times. KtC

[emilschnoor]

30 % fat..

[kooktocook]

oh probably, that is what makes them good. Less though then if they were cooked entirely in the oil for ten minutes yet still retaining flavour. cheers! KtC.

[jen8933]

don't a bunch and don't eat them every day.

[kooktocook]

yep!

cheers, KtC

[keritako]

It looks like the batter isn't sticking to the onion that much...but still good :]

[kooktocook]

The batter for my rings is 'sticky'. May appear almost translucent. Once it hits the oil though, it puffs up. Thank you for the comment. cheers! KtC

[jen8933]

try tempora batter some time for a little bit of difference.

seeing these made me want cole slaw, onion rings and catfish.

[kooktocook]

Yes, I find the cold batter works well. I like the Tempura technique. mmmm catfish you say :)

cheers! KtC

[xonar778]

Thanks broski!, epic football party dish!

[kooktocook]

Anytime :)

I love this method because there is little oil to use, less mess and they always turn out great. cheers! KtC

[bukowskiozan]

its good ı made it,but little bit need mineral or beer

[kooktocook]

What works well is cold vodka. Actually champagne is good also. Beer works in everything lol.

Have a great day. cheers! KtC

[nabeshabu]

I see you keep the frying in oil part to a minimum, and do most of the cooking in the oven. That is good, I find. Probably better than doing the whole thing in oil or using only the oven. I will try them this way next time I prepare rings. Thank you :)

[kooktocook]

With the rings I make them this way. Crispen them up with oil and flavour and bake a bit until cooked to desire. The rings can burn if in the oil too long. A nice large fryer is best. Also, as you pointed out, not as much oil and mess to deal with. cheers! KtC

[UW2013]

What type of oil??

[kooktocook]

My error. I used canola. It is my primary deep fry oil. Peanut oil is great. Sunflowerseed oil is good. cheers! KtC

[carimolin]

I love onion rings tnx:)

[kooktocook]

I am happy you enjoyed. I love them too! cheers, KtC

[lotus2d]

this is a nice snak but i preffer drink beer and smoke with some friends.... more easy :)

[kooktocook]

yep. The frozen ones work well in a pinch. cheers! KtC

[CaptainDickerson]

(making dumb comment) Dear sir u have a onion ring will u share it? (looks at finger) im not married to an onion (pointing at plate that) gimme that onion ring or perish (they fight over kooks onion rings) the audience wins with laughter, and fresh onion rings in their bellies....>>!>>!>!>!>>!

[usafireandrescue]

I love onion rings! This is definitely a winner! Then again, I love all your recipes KtC!!! 5 stars and more! Hugs!

[yoyomax12]

The oven idea is great! You get the deep fried flavour without as much oil being used.

[kooktocook]

Works great each time and yep, little oil required. (easy clean up). Have a great day Tammy. cheers, KtC (Happy to sub, been catching up lately on folks)

[foodlover7]

do you think it'll work just by baking it??? )(not frying, just bake)

[kooktocook]

try a dip in flour and then egg/ milk mixture. THEN breadcrumbs. Bake on a cookie sheet for 20/30 minutes at about 350F or so. As they are now they would not work too well.

The reason for this video is to show another method that uses a little oil and ensures they are cooked without over/under cooking. Some folks missed that point. Yeah, try the breadcrumbs. cheers! KtC

[foodlover7]

i have all those ingredients.. shall try it soon^^

[tomtik101]

cool

[cvboy123456789]

wow u make cooking easier.

[kooktocook]

Cooking is only as complex as you want it to be. As I said below, there are certainly other methods. I just find this works for the novice or those who like a properly cooked ring. So easy to burn or not cook through. Thank you, have a great day! KtC

[ladypinay1988]

oh wow! that looked easy..lol i thought the onion was chopped and then coated i learnt something new today...Thanks

[kooktocook]

If we can just learn a trick a day! lol

These are a no-fault recipe. Should work each time. cheers! KtC

[mrpigy12]

i tried this it was great but i had a hard time to coat my onoins with the bater the kept breaking but they were very good anyways

[kooktocook]

Once you try a few times (as anything) they will improve. Not sure what you mean by breaking? Too wet? Perhaps a bit more flour? Thanks for the feedback, cheers! KtC

[3m1rfile]

Hmm...*clicks subscribe*

[kooktocook]

Thanks a bunch. I like this method because 1. you do not have to use a bunch of oil, 2. they always turn out well.

I can make excellent onion rings in a fryer but who always has a fryer? plus most folks burn them. There is someone who has a vid. on here who claims he makes them the best, but he burnt the damn things. thanks again. have a great day! KtC

[3m1rfile]

Ahah, no problemo KTC< have a good day yourself :D

[TheyCallMeMrburt]

just like that, huh ....wheres dat subscribe button

[loveit467]

wow..

that simple and easy..

thanks alot..

:)

[kooktocook]

Anytime :) Have a great day! KtC

[ManxOfXTheXYearX]

omg all your videos are great now im craving to try this thanks for inspiring me =-] have a wonderful day

[kooktocook]

and thank you for the nice comments. I love the onion rings. I find frying them just a bit and popping the in the oven assures that they are good always (without being burnt and not cooked through). Have a great day! cheers, KtC

[cherri7]

Thanks=).I'm happy that we don't have to use egg.I'm a vegetarian and I don't like to cook with egg.

[kooktocook]

There you go! (Most cases when an egg is asked for in a batter it can always be substituted with a bit of milk (or more milk). Have a great day! KtC

[HoldUpOneTime]

i swear u only make the best stuff. i wish i could try some of ur cooking. this might be a dubm question but ur job is a chef right?

[kooktocook]

I don't want to ruin a good thing by cooking professionally. lol ;) cheers! KtC

[zroth32]

Finally! I have a reason to bug my parents for onion rings. My Quest is compleate!

Might be a weird quest, i know, but I just had a sudden craving for onion rings a few days ago. How random . . .

[kooktocook]

Yes, it happens to me too. Some of the frozen types are okay but they are never around when you want them (not worth the price either). These are really good, easy and always turn out great. Have a great day! KtC

[Italianbella90]

ok i tried making these today, came out liek shit, the batter did not stick, however, i think they would have been good if they came out right, they semlled great.

[kooktocook]

A. the batter was not sticky. add a bit more of flour or water until sticky.

B. did you chill them in the refridgerator for about 10 - 15 min.? This alone will keep the coating on.

D. oil was not hot enough

Typically the rings are deep fried in oil for the entire time until cooked. Unless using a deep fryer and a lot of oil, folks over-cook (burn) or under-cook (soggy). By just zapping them in the oil and then baking, I find they turn out great for the novice. please try again. Good Luck.

[LDKBBAB]

Quick question...do you have a corn dog recipe?

[kooktocook]

quick question, long answer, no problemo, for a batter try:

3 c. cornmeal

1 1/2 c. plain flour

1 tbsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. sugar

1 1/2 c. buttermilk

1 c. water

1 egg

dust the weiners with a bit of flour. prepare batter, coat weiners, chill about 10 min. (try re-dipping in batter) deep fry (cover with oil) at 350F. not long 2 min.? cheers! KtC (perhaps a video idea)

[LDKBBAB]

Awesome! Thanx alot for the batter recipe. Just one more question/lol....The cornmeal...I've got coarse corn meal and corn flour....what would you recomend? Thanks again.

[kooktocook]

cornflour, *I would probably split the recipe in half, it seems like a lot of batter. cheers! KtC

[CyclonexxxIce]

wow those look godly

i love your cooking style too, no bs

definitly sub'd

[kooktocook]

Thanks a bunch. It's about the food not me. When the BS is taken away it only takes a minute. cheers! KtC

[PatagoniaPedro]

I am now hungry for onion rings, lol!

[kooktocook]

Now I have to make some too :) cheers!

[halabeloeza]

Great , because my friends come over tomorrow and i want to make onion rings en stuff like that Thx!

[graphic1995]

do u have to use spanish onions?

[kooktocook]

The Spanish onions are large and work quite well. Any onion (large) will work though. cheers, KtC

[graphic1995]

do we have to use flouur and is there anything else we can use for a substitue as flour?

[kooktocook]

Not sure, I have only used flour for this one. try a google search for a flour batter substitute? KtC

[Reluctantwriter7]

Were they crispy after coming out of the oven?

[kooktocook]

Yes they were. In fact, the oven crisp them up without while ensuring the onion is cooked through too. I really like this nethod as compared to just deep frying them for the three - four minutes. Not as greasy and very crunchy. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts? KtC

[Reluctantwriter7]

I did it! And I can proudly report that they came out great! Thanks for this recipe, Ive seen some other onion ring recipes that take a three dip approach, and I just couldnt bring myself to take the time and effort to do all of that. I like that this is not only faster but probably a little less caloric (haha) than a flour/egg/breadcrumb process too.

[kooktocook]

I like the recipe too. I'm happy you enjoyed them and they came out good. Have a great day! KtC

[flamedrag18]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[DofaDofah]

Now thats what Im talking about MMMmmmmm =)

[NYYMGMG]

Does putting them in the oven prevent them from becoming soggy later on?

[kooktocook]

This method I'm browning them in oil and then finishing the cooking in the oven (as opposed to the entire cooking time in the oil, typical). The rings will be crispy and cooked through this way for the novice cook. cheers, KtC

[Truehorn99]

at culinary school, we used peanut oil because of the hight smoke point. We also, put the onion ring in flour 1st, then in the batter, then in PANKO bread crumbs. They came out nice.

[dl33124]

O.K.! I am going to do this! I have tried for 40 years to get the batter to stick to the onions as they fry and not have the batter slip off into a horrifying mess on the top of the oil! Beer batters, soaking in ice water over night before battering...you name it I've been there, best bet was QuarterView restaurant on Clearview Pky,Metairie,La !!

[kooktocook]

This method should work for you. Ensure the coating is sticky, they float in the oil and work with cold liquid/ batter. Good Luck! KtC

[noflashbang]

I would bet money that you are not getting your oil hot enough.

[kooktocook]

perhaps. give or take a temp. rings are one shot into the oil (about 3 min.) but folks can over/ under cook them (either coating or onion) ; (probably oil temp or n/a deep fryer). this method (a quick oil fry/oven) works quite well. thanks for the comment! cheers, KtC

[zipape]

The funny thing is that it takes a billion videos to expertvillage to show how to cook them. Good job!

[onionhead007]

i just thought id comment here. for some strange reason i was attracted to this video.

[kooktocook]

Must be the onions....KtC

[choco33333333]

is it ok if i don't bake it?

[kooktocook]

If you have a large oil deep-fryer, that's the way to go. Takes a couple of minutes for a batch to be cooked. Cook safe frying when with oil! cheers, KtC

[cookingwithalia]

yum yum yum I always wanted to make these but never learned to avoid extra pound. I guess now I dont have a choice ;-)

[llam89]

Yum I want to make some now :)

[papercuts777]

looking fine, just fine. No, DELICIOUS!

[ringrosehouse07]

mm looks good

[morganszombie]

Think I have an idea for a snack lol

[thedog4444]

yum!
