I place a sliced onion in my drum with a bit of hickory. Smoked them as long as I could at 300 degrees. I didn't want the rings to cook, just take on as much smoke as possible..
Then I bagged them until I was ready to fry them up.
I used a beer batter...
1 cup of flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
enough beer to make a pancake like batter
(about 3/4 of a beer)
I used Tecate in this.. stronger beer such as lager will over power the smoke flavor.
I flour the rings before dipping in batter....
fry til golden...
season with salt....
I like em. :)

Rings look delicious and I'll have to try smoking some. We use a beer batter and for a little more crunch, we use a little thinner batter then roll in panko after battering. We use it for crappie as well.
mmmmmmmm... your blog is killing me!!! (in a good way)
Thank you Big Dude! I love panko it makes everything so crunchy. I've not tried it on crappie...bet that it's wonderful.
Thanks for the tip!
lol Thank you Heart of a Cowgirl! :)

Thanks A Year on the Grill! I love o-rings too. :)
The perfect side dish? I think so!
lol Thanks Chris! :)
What would be even better is once you have the thick cut smoked onion rings. get some bacon to go around the rings then batter that and add panko!
Serious, I'm sure it would be sooo good.

Prettytastyreviews.. I do love bacon! :)
The onion smoke is so mild, the bacon flavor would overpower them.
You could skip the smoking process and just wrap, dip and fry.. Bet those would be tasty!
Thanks!
