At our last family barbecue, my grandmother made her famous onion rings.
Since they are somewhat messy to cook, a turkey fryer outdoors worked out very well.
As each batch was ready, the hungry flock of family swooped in to enjoy the perfectly golden, lightly battered, salted onion rings.
When I think of onion rings, usually I think of using a beer batter. My grandmother say she always uses ginger ale, and that she’s used Sprite before when she didn’t have ginger ale on hand.

Yum! These look great! Ginger ale, that’s interesting.
