Beer Battered Onion Rings

These crispy onion rings are the perfect addition to Usinger's brats on the grill. We chose Lienenkugels Sunset Wheat for the beer as it gives a sweeter flavor to the batter, plus we love to go balls-to-the-wall when making Wisco style dinners. Don't like the smell of fried foods in your kitchen? Try using a deep fryer outside or on a grill side burner.

Ingredients:

1 quart vegetable oil for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup beer (We prefer Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
4 onions, peeled and sliced into rings
Sea salt

Directions:

In a large, deep skillet, heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, combine flour, beer, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. Dredge onion slices in the batter, until evenly coated. Deep fry in the hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with sea salt.
