Onions Rings make me want to drink Vanilla Milk Shakes.
Vanilla Milk Shakes make me want to eat Cheeseburgers.
Cheeseburgers make me want to eat French Fries.
French Fries make me want to drink a Coke.
Lord have mercy. What have I gotten myself into?
Have you ever made onion rings before?
Nothing but trouble.
I coated these in barbecue and hot sauce then drowned the whole mix in buttermilk.
Do you have one of these fry thermometers?
Don’t think they’re only for fancy kitchen cooking. This piece of metal is the key to french fries, doughnuts and onion rings… and it’s fourteen bucks.
Do this.
Fried.
If you’re wondering if you should feel guilty about this… not just yet.
But now?
Dipped in a barbecue sour cream dip with chives… yes. Feel guilty. I do.
Ps. This is a picture of a kitten on a bed.
More specifically it’s a picture of my kitten on my bed.
Yes, I’m showing off. The kitten. Not the bed.
Pps. Call your Dad. I have to call mine… you should call yours too.
Barbecue Buttermilk Onion Rings
adapted from The Sophisticated Gourmet
makes about 24 onion rings
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon hot suace
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 large sweet yellow onion
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 quart (i know it seems like a lot) vegetable, canola or peanut oil for frying
For the Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons buttermilk
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
two pinches salt
2 tablespoons fresh chives, slices tiny
Cut of the bottom and top end of the onion. Remove the skin and slice onion into rings as thick as you like. Separate the rings and place in a large bowl. Save the small onion insides for a salad or something.
Mix onions, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt and pepper until the onion rings are well coated. Top with buttermilk and submerge all of the rings. Allow to rest for 15 minutes while you assemble the flour and dipping sauce.
In a different large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, paprika and ground pepper.
In a medium sized, heavy bottom pan fit with a fry thermometer, begin to heat the oil to 360 degrees over medium heat.
Assemble the dipping sauce by whisking together sour cream, buttermilk, barbecue sauce, hot sauce and salt. Sprinkle in a big teaspoon of fresh chives and place in the fridge while you fry the onion rings.
Preheat oven to 150 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
Fry the onions in four batches. Using tongs, remove several rings from the buttermilk and dredge completely in the flour mixture. Carefully place in the fry oil once it reaches 360 degrees F. Let cook for a minute and a half before flipping. Each batch will take about three minutes. Once golden brown, remove from the oil and place on the paper towels. Let rest in the warm oven while you fry the rest of the batches. Note! Be sure to let the fry oil return to 360 degrees F before frying the second, third and forth batches.
Enjoy immediately sprinkled with fresh chives with dipping sauce.

Ohh this says nothing but trouble. Delicious trouble, that is.
Erica
Joy I’ve been dying to make this recipe for weeks and I finally remembered to pick up some buttermilk. They came out even better than I had hoped, thank you!! PS love your podcast!
shutterbug
LOL! I feel the same way about onions rings! This recipe looks so yummy! I will have to give it a try one of these days. :D
lisa
we fried onions last weekend! same method, no bbq sauce. (i used my fingers instead of tongs) gone in an instant! worth every bit of effort required.
Jessica
These look divine. How on Earth do you stay thin?
Winnie Dolderer
These look to die for. I will try them over the weekend. I have these on the brain now.
Thanks for sharing.
Gwenevere
Oh great now I have to choose, french onion soup or onion rings for husbands dinner….i guess i could let him choose. :)
Dominique
My mother never had onion rings, I promised they would taste great. These were even more amazing than the ones I already had. Amazing on an homemade hamburger too!
penelope
made a double batch of onions for a barbeque last night, though made the normal amount of sauce which turned out to be plenty. empty bowl in under half an hour! poor little suckers never had a chance. thanks for the recipe :)
Tiffany
They look so good. I will be making these next weekend.
Lucia
Joy, it makes my mouth water! I can even feel the crunchy texture. Gosh! Here in Italy we don’t have barbecue sauces and all that stuff: any suggestion for italian onion rings?
annie
Just when I thought I didn’t really want a kitten anymore… golly that little bitty is adorable!
Debby
These look so good, I wanna try these
heather @ chiknpastry
man, i thought i was gonna cross frying off the list for a little while so i can instead eat some pie and not feel as guilty. but now i’d rather fry onions :).
also, LOVE the KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!! i just wanna squeeze it. not too hard tho….
Claudia S
I made these for dinner tonight along with some steaks, they were a big hit. Easy and yummy too. Love your kitten, it looks like my Henry cat!
PatW
I need those onion rings. I already have a longhaired red tabby cat. He’s uninterested in people food of any sort, but oh Lordy does he love to snuggle in my quilts– while they’re being quilted.
Jaimie
My hubs would love this! Thanks!
Kendra
Is the frying done in a dutch oven? An actual fry daddy? Or maybe a shallow pan. I’m really an amateur at frying, but these look a-maz-ing!
Adam
Please let me suck your dick on how basic your recipe and pictures of your cats are.
joythebaker
i don’t have a dick… dummy.
ButterYum
Interesting take on onion rings. Love your cute kitten, and yes, I need to call my dad. thanks for the reminder.

pure food crack, for reallls.

Dear Joy the Baker,
Not only you bake, now you also make some pretty awesome looking onion rings!!! :)
Jennie
omg. i thought onion rings were good. these are over the top. can’t wait to try them. perfect weekend project for a chilly fall weekend! :)
Farmer Gal
You have me saying, “Oh, no,” and, “Oh yes!” at the same time… Oh no, these are going to go straight to my behind. Oh yes! Those look awesome! Totally worth a little extra jiggle.
The kitten… So sweet.
Jana
First time i’ve made onion rings and they were bloody awesome.
Snowpea
Keeetehn!!!! The marmalades (aka marmies) are the very best flavour.
Honest. I have two marmies and I figure I can have no other kind of kitteh: so friendly, so outgoing, so prosh.
KT
Man I’m Hungry!
When Pigs Fly
Love the picture of the kitten. It just adds that little something. I do like onion rings but I’m craving pumpkin bread. I think I’ll have to make some in that picture you’ve got on your site.
Kate
Onion Rings!!! Yummy recipe and then I saw your new baby!!! What a dear sweet little one! Is he/she shy around your camera? Such a sweet little one!
Xtine
I love the food and all, but we need more kitten pics, please.
Rose
Oh these look sinfully yummy!!! I’m going to make these and not share with the boy ;)
Your kitten is so so cute!! We just got one a couple of weeks ago and I want to go back and get her siblings. :)
Stacey
Watch out for that kitten! I got a little baby orange one about a year ago. I thought he wanted to be my friend, but he actually wanted to kill me in my sleep. Eventually, we parted ways. He didn’t like livng in my 2nd story apartment. But be careful…the orange ones are always fiesty.
My hubby will love these onion rings! I want to make them tonight!
jan
Oh forget the onion rings (I’ll come back for them later) but Kit-TEN??!! He’s sooo cute. Like someone else said, one does lead to more … somehow or another. Two’s my limit though (unlike the onion rings … does that serve more than one person?!)
Mary Beth
Joy, talk to me about the barbecue sauce. Did you use a store bought brand? And if so, which one?
Kaci
I wanna hug your kitty!!! What a sweet face.
Ali @ Three Baking Sheets
More kitten pics, plz.
Amber
I heart your kitteh. Makes me want another one!
Kareene
I’m not very fond or frying things, although fried food is awesomely good ! But I don’t have a fryer and when I fry in a saucepan, things get messy and the smell in the house…. can’t really stand it… But these look really good… I don’t know if I’ll make some one day, but I am sure gonna try the brownie cookies !
Can’t wait for the next food blog ! Just eating with my eyes is good enough for me lately ! Have a nice day ! :)
Sarah
So I had a dream last night that I made these onion rings. That’s a sign from the heavens, no?
Carol
Okay,here it is…I totally LOVE your site! These onion rings look wonderful AND the kitten is awesome.
Joy,you totally rock.I visit often and enjoy each offering and post :)
Andrea
No matter how many sad eyes your kitten gives you DON’T FEED IT ONION RINGS! I just don’t think it’s a good idea.
Angela See, Angela Blog
They look soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing nom nom nom! I’ve added you to my blog roll even though you’re not a fashion related blog but I love your recipes and photos so much I did it anyway.

Jennifer
Mmmm these onion rings look so crispy and delicious. Definitely one of my weaknesses.
Your kitten is SO cute.
Jessica @ Jessiker Bakes
Onion rings…my weakness. Seriously. I need to make something absolutely delicious for breakfast tomorrow to avoid going and buying these for lunch…
Really though Joy? 12:05 am ?? Burger King is still open. My stomach has been growling at me for the last 30 minutes. I could get into the car right now and drive there. Why would do you this?
…Thanks. I think!
Foodess
I have never ever deep fried anything. That stops now. Those onion rings look incredible!
Marisa
Mmm. Onion rings, milkshake, burger. A perfect trifecta.
You are going to be a kick ass mom one of these days, Joy. A KICK ASS MOM!
This is completely random, but do you know of any really great vegan baking blogs? I’m trying to get some more vegan baking goods into my repertoire.
Becky
Marisa,
‘Voracious Vegan’ makes some yummy treats. Case in point: https://thevoraciousvegan.com/2009/10/07/autumn-spice-pumpkin-cookies/
And ‘Vegan Dad’ does a ton of baking: https://vegandad.blogspot.com/
Just a couple off the top of my head. Happy Vegan Baking!
Marisa
Becky,
Thanks so much! I am going to check these out right now!
tammy
Heavens! Those onion rings look scrumpcious! (the kitten appears to be squeezably soft too:). But this post really makes me want to ask if you’ve ever made french-fried, marinated artichoke hearts? Do you have a recipe that you could share for the best of those? I tried some about a week or so ago (for the first time) and OMG, I nearly embarassed myself at the restaurant, I enjoyed them so much (think…’Harry Met Sally’ …here). If I recall correctly, they were served with a sour cream-dill dipping sauce. It was okay, but I think it could have been improved upon. I normally dip steamed artichoke leaves in a mixture of mayo, lemon juice and dill. Add a little sour cream to that and I’m good to go. I would, of course, welcome any suggestions you might deem worthy for other sauce accompaniment. Thanks for considering my query. Much love!
baker-me
OH JOY! the kitten is beyond words. now the name! (pumpkin?)
annie
Such a cute kitty!! Name?
Crystal's Cozy Kitchen
These look delicious! I just bought onions yesterday to make onion rings – I’m going to have to try this.
Your Southern Peach
I love onion rings. ( I really love anything fried. )
I love the vertical white patterns around kitten’s face. Precious.
Alison
I stumbled across your site earlier this year, and I’m somewhat embarassed to say that this is my first comment, but I can’t help myself. Here I go:
KITTENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOMG!
Sara
Oh my, I just want to cuddle your kitten! My own little furball was that size once. She never did get very big, and *almost* nine years later (her birthday is on Halloween…fitting for a little black kitty) is nearly as spunky as she was back then. At the risk of sounding trite, I just have to say – enjoy every moment, they grow up so fast!!
Neha
An adorable kitten, deeeeeelish onion rings, and all-around awesomeness!! How is there not a line of hot boys outside your door right now?!
joythebaker
excellent question.
Leslie
The onion rings look absolutely delicious, but the little pumpkin on your bed is as cute as a bug!!!
Cheers! Leslie
delaney @ heartbreak pie
OMG! OMG! OMG! Kitten and Onion rings and SOUR CREAM DIP. I am exploding with excitement!
Capability
Onion rings do lead down the path to other fun foods – I am so with you on that! Great recipe.
denise
i think i’m falling in platonic love with you
laura @ alittlebarefoot
that kitten is magnificent! i hope you are enjoying him so far!! the onion rings look fantastic, too.
Erin
Now I need a kitten AND onion rings. Beautiful and delicious, Joy.
ineedavacation
Can anyone please tell me how to dispose of the oil after the cooking is done? Please.
joythebaker
once the oil is cooled, i pour it into an old sour cream or take-out soup container. i then throw it in the trash.
carolina
Onions rings make me want to drink a beer! Anything fried makes me want to drink a beer….
Holly
What do you have against my diet? :) Seriously, these look so good, how do you not weigh 500 lbs cooking all this awesome food???? How do you fry them? Do you have a deep fryer?
Patricia Calef
As the mother of six cats, I welcome you to Cat Parenthood or Furbaby Parenthood, take your choice.
Remember, one cat always leads to another.
Anne
Those onion rings look so cute and the kitten to die for…wait a minute…Strike that. Reverse. How old is your kitty? I just adopted one of my own a few weeks ago.
I think we need a kitten update here. Name and all. ^_^
Hettar7
This post? Yeah, this post is why I read your blog. Ok, this and the one about the vanilla extract. And there were the cupcakes and cookies and cakes too. Can’t forget those. You rock dear.
Anna
Funny Joy, I just got off the phone with my dad. These look sinfully delicious. And the kitten is precious. Want.
Sweet Swallows
I’m not a fan of onion rings, but I am a fan of kitten faces. And your kitten’s face made me squeal. What a sweetie!
Shushmi
Gosh I was looking at these pics and reading the recipe and my mouth literally started watering! I cannot wait to make these – might have to be at the weekend but I dont know if I can hold out for that long….
and your kitty is so cute! What is her/his name?
Donna
I just made these using Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce – thanks for sharing! They’re utterly perfect and only a little messy. Totally worth it. : )
joythebaker
you’re fast!
Rita
OMGoodness!!! Kitty :) You really needed a kitty Joy, you’ll have to share tons more pictures and tell us all how Kitty came to be with you.
BTW, BBQ onion rings sound awesome and I think the man of the house around here will actually like them too. These are definitely on the menu, just as soon as I buy more onions.
Kelli @ The Corner Kitchen
Seriously, your kitten could not be any cuter!!!
Mmmm…onion rings!
alexis
i am in love with your kitten! congrats! they are WAY too much fun, and love, and cuddling. i have a not-so-much a kitten anymore and she’s fabulous, but i have recently been contemplating getting her a friend – your post makes it that much more likely!
Michelle
Now I am huuuun-gry!!
So delicious. I can never get myself to actually fry something though. Uses a lot of oil/ my mom would probably shoot me alive.
Unless it was fried as in cream cheese wontons. Because I have done that. Often.
Freya
Wait, so buttermilk goes on the onion rings or in the dipping sauce or both? I may be an idiot and not reading properly, but please do clarify!
cynnnamon
Making these tonightttt (w texas hots, yumMm). THX Joy u da best<333
Emma
aawww I love onion rings, even better that french fries sometimes but … your kitty is so cute it took my mind of the onion rings.
Susan
Onion rings look delish. Kitten is so cute it makes me want to talk in baby talk to it!!
AMInyc
Must
have
these
now…
jenn3250
Hey Joy! Quick question: I tried making onion rings in buttermilk one time before and let the onions soak in the buttermilk for maybe 5 mins, well the buttermilk turned to yogurt and I ended up having to wash it all off. Is this normal or did it happen when you did it? If not, do you have any idea what could have caused it?
PS: Your kitten is TOO cute!
Georgia @ The Comfort of Cooking
I can’t decide what I want to gobble up more… the kitty or the onion rings! Precious and delicious!
dawnn
I found you via Bakerella and SO glad that I did! These look amazing! I want them for my birthday… off to find someone to make them for me!
Carly
WHA?! You are pure evil, Joy. Pure evil.
Ami
oh yum. Sour cream dip… genius. Must make these now.
jmujami
that is the cutest kitty i’ve ever seen!
Jessica @ bake me away!
This post could also be called “Jessica’s Weaknesses”. Onion rings, barbecue sauce, sour cream, chives, KITTEN….
Carmen
Your kitten is adorable! Not to mention these onion rings look sinful…. may have to make them this weekend for my nephew’s football game.
TJ
Swoon! Love that kitteh face!!! What’s your kitty called?

Angela @ Diary of a deaf girl
Aww! Such a sweet kitten!! Those onion rings look fabulous, and I’m definitely going to have to try them!
Crystal
Oh my stars! That kitty is just precious! So sweet looking. I need to snuggle a kitty, pronto. And I think I need those sheets – adorable!
Rachel
I’m digging kitty’s white eyeliner.
Maria Trader
yumm…looks good! and the kitten is cute :)
Emily
Did you happen to take a photo of the pan all set up for frying? I’m having trouble envisioning what sort of pan you used and how you positioned the thermometer. It must have been somewhat shallow if you were able to flip the onion rings instead of just having them floating around randomly in the oil. I am a frying rookie!
Also your kitten looks super sweet. I hope she (he?) is bringing you lots of cheer after all your bike troubles.
joythebaker
i don’t have pictures of the frying process because i was mostly trying not to burn myself. i used a medium sized heavy bottom pot. the oil was about 3-4 inches deep. the fry thermometers clip to the inside of the pan and read the temp of the oil as it goes up and down. does this help any?
Emily
Yes, thanks Joy. I figured that was why you didn’t take a photo.
CHRISTINE!
You mean hot grease ISN’T good for cameras and skin!?
whitney
OMG! Kitten! YAY!
the blissful baker
i want these right now!! a vanilla milkshake would be nice too!
Patty
Totally worth meal-skipping!
Jen
Ohhh! Orange kitties are the BEST! They are of the extra naughty variety… (those onion rings make me drool, btw)
Kelly
mmmmmm….onion rings. Also, as a cat owner myself, I can tell you that it probably can’t be considered your bed anymore. Funny how that works out: small+cute= they own the place!
Alex
These look soooo good, i’ll definitely have to try these. And by the way, your kitten is so adorable!!
Cathy B. @ Bright Bakes
french fries? I can take ’em or leave ’em. Onion rings?? That’s a whoooooooooole different ballgame!
Want. These. Now.
love ya,
cathy b. @ brightbakes
Erika
Oh I could eat two plates of those onion rings right now…..preferably washed down with a Large Coke from Sonic. YUM!
Your kitty is soooo sweet and adorable! Please do share more photos!
Johanna
Um, incredible. I’m fostering three kittens in my little two-bedroom student apartment and my cooking/baking projects now take about 25% longer because you have to keep inquisitive little paws off the counter!
Brynn
These onion rings look awesome… what do you do with the oil after you’ve used it? That’s usually what prevents me from deep frying anything.
More kitten pictures!
joythebaker
i pour it in an old sour cream or to-go soup container and throw it away.
Yvonne
Yum! Might have to make these tonight. Most importantly your kitten is so adorable!
Jenny
I like that you put hot sauce in them! Looks good! : )
jen
the onion rings look delish….
and your kitten is adorable! he/she looks just like my Miles…{there’s a picture of him on my sidebar if you want to see what your kitten will look like when he/she grows up!} Orange tabbies are the best, sweetest, most loving kitties too! ;)
Jessica
Buttermilk onion strings with curry powder! Do it! And I’ll do these!
Sandra Simmons
I love onion rings. But I love kittens more!!!!!!! So sweet!
Sushi Girl
Hey Joy, Thanks for reminding me to call my dad. My mom fell this weekend and semi-scalped herself and 2 sleepless nights later you reminded me I was going to call my dad. Thank you so much :) Oh btw – I LOVED your picture with Bakerella, you looked so cute! PS: Your kitteh has a very adorable, impish face.

What a sweet kitty! I love your blog, Joy – keep the great recipes (and kitten pictures) coming! :)
steph (whisk/spoon)
i like a good onion ring even more than good fries! that’s one cute little kitten face!
Chiara
I am so jealous of your kitten. I want a kitten. I wish I was grown up enough to be allowed to have a kitten. One more perk of being a grown up…. KITTENS! And onion rings. of course.
Kylie @ A Hungry Spoon
YUM! It’s so funny to see all of the food reminders onion rings bring up for you…they make me think of the “gourmet” diner down the street. Holy yum–black bean burgers with blue cheese crumbles, grilled zucchini, caramelized onions, and fried green tomatoes on top (yes! fried green tomatoes on your burger!), and sweet potato fries on the side :)
So, needless to say, your onion rings remind me of good food too! They look delicious :)
HappyWhenNotHungry
These onion rings look amazing and the bbq sour cream looks even better! This is a guilty pleasure that I will definitely have to try. Thanks for sharing!
Susan Davidson
I love your pretty orange kitty!! What kind is she/he?
your onion rings look delicious!
Amalia

Holy cow these look amazing!!

I want to put these on a sandwich!
And congrats on the cute kitty!
Estela @ Weekly Bite
Oh my goodness! I about died when I saw that cutie pie of a kitten!
nancy k.
Cutie pie kitty. Has to be a boy as it is an orange tabby. Did you know that orange tabbies have a reputation for being among the most lovable and affectionate of all domestic house cats? I have it on good authority from my long time vet, a cat specialist with the vehicle license plate of Dr. Purr! She has only had orange tabbies as pets.
Have you checked out the recent Kitty Kitty posting on The Pioneer Woman website? A bobtailed orange tabby recently appeared on her doorstep and adopted her family. There is a funny one about how she learned the cat, assumed to be female, was indeed a male.
Anyway, congrats on the new addition and the yummy onion rings. I only wish they were baked rather than fried!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday
I can pass up french fries easily, but onion rings are a whole other story. Those look great!
I don’t usually deep fry things at home though because I feel like I’m wasting the oil. I know you can re-use it, but still.
Jenny
Good idea. That’s what this is.
Sally in the Zen
The kitty…she’s a cutie! Have you named her yet? Or is it a him?
notyet100
i wont feel guilty at all,..;-)
Heather (Heather's Dish)
ok, those onion rings are incredible. and yes, they make me want to eat at a diner and order one of everything.
and your kitty is adorable! i’m in love :)
julie @ rosy + tart
Oh dear. These look incredible… ugh. And you’re right – the never-ending cycle of fat-pants worth food starts with onion rings. Glorious, glorious onion rings…
Katrina
I love your kitten and I love this recipe. ’tis going to be a good day.
Ne-Ne
Ok it’s uber hard to feel guilty about onion rings and the fact that I am making them, when there is an adorable kitten staring at me!!! Too precious! stay blessed!
Darcy
Ahhhh! I need onion rings & kittens in my life…a vanilla milkshake wouldnt be horrible news either. Both your kitty & golden rings of deep-fried goodness look absolutely scrumptious. Congrats :)
manoela
The recipe is awesome! I’ve never made onion rings, so I’m saving this recipe in my must-do list! Look delicious!
And the kitten is so cute!!! I love cats on my bed too!
Jessie Heninger
Those look amazing good thing I don’t have a frimometer it might be the only thing saving these thighs of mine!

Oh my to wake up in the morning and see those delicious onion rings, I now am hungry. Your kitten is adorable. Paulette

Onion rings and a kitten!? Does it get any better!?
Musketnuss
Oh my God. Of course, nothing is cuter than the cat sitting next to me – but, aaaaaw, your kitten’s so lovely! What’s it’s name? I would be so interested in that.
I could have some of those onion rings right now.. Yum.
By the way, I love the new autumny look of the blog.
Lauren at KeepItSweet

MIAOW~~! cutey cutey kittey.. =)
onion rings look divine.. i’m not feeling well, and i’m craving for them.. NOT GOOD!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is
The BBQ took these over the edge for me!

OMG – your kitten is sooo cute. The onion rings look mighty great too. :)

So yummy!
And I love your kitten by the way, it seems really interested in this food!
peachkins
heaven! heaven! heaven! cute kitty!
Poppy
Yum. Can’t wait to try this. And maybe dump in some chicken wings too in the batter and see how those would turn out :) Thanks super for this post!
kamran siddiqi (the sophisticated gourmet)
Don’t feel guilty, Joy (even though it does call for it in my recipe notes- hehe)! I never thought of using barbecue sauce , but now I want barbecue onion rings at 4:26 in the morning (long story- I have school). BTW, that dip looks absolutely awesome!!
P.S. That kitten- Too darn cute!
Ana
Is it only coincidence that the kitten and the onion rings are the same colour?
Marisa
It’s 10 am and yet I can think of little else except these golden crunchy onion rings…
PS: Pretty kitten!
Jess @ Bakericious
looks great, my husband will likes this bbq onion rings.
Karen from Globetrotter Diaries
I know that vicious cycle too well! those onion rings look sooooooo good, thanks for making me hungry right before bed, I may need to sneak downstairs for a mid-night snack…
Wei-Wei
KITTEHHHH! Do the onion rings stay crunchy??
Chloe
I have to agree with what you’ve said up the top! Cooking onions rings make me want all those oily juicy junky foods, EPIC. It’s a recipe for obesity and disaster, nonetheless, I couldn’t resist! Haha!
carlabarla
…I was going to make some comment about how I had every plan to make these for the boyfriend, but then I saw the kitten and EEEEEE KITTEN! I already have two fat babies, but this makes me want a new kitten. I love tiny kitten eyes!
Kocinera
Oooh, these look gorgeous! You’ve totally given me a mean case of the midnight munchies. :D
Joe @ Eden Kitchen
Holy heck I’m drooling all over my keyboard! I’ve eaten a few too many cookies tonight and now craving something savory like this!
Cece
I too made bluttermilk onion rings tonight. I had them in a salad in place of croutons. That was healthy right? Did I mention I then drowned the whole thing in a bbq and ranch dressing?
Kate
If you give a mouse a cookie…
Man, oh man, these look good! I’m sitting here writing an essay about Ovid and I took a break to drool over these for awhile.
Cute kitty!
Nancy
Ooohh, I was hoping you’d show off your kitten!
Cute! Does kitten have a name, yet?
Christine
Oops, guess that’d be ONE of the first…geez I’m tired….
Christine
Oh my word—I’m the first to comment on this post! That is because I’m still up at this hour, waiting for my dilled carrots to finish boiling in the canner, thereby ending my epic canning spree where I made countless jars of jams, jellies, salsas, preserves, dilled this-and-that…phew!!! Now I’ll have time to deep fry things, as per this post. These look delicious!!!
The Boob Nazi
This looks like heaven.
Rachel @ MWF Seeking BFF
Oh lordy. This is not a kind thing to do to a girl just before she goes to bed. Now I want onion rings. And a milkshake. And cheeseburger. And a coke. But mostly just the onion rings. Yes please.
jennifer
the kitten is so so adorable!! and i wish i had some onion rings. like, right now. :(
