What to Serve These Onion Rings With

When it comes to what to serve these onion rings with, you have plenty of options. The most common food to serve onion rings with is hot dogs or hamburgers. When you see people ordering onion rings at a restaurant, it's often in tandem with one of these two foods. It makes sense; people often put onions on both, so why not have them as a side?

Onion rings can also be had with fried chicken. This one might be a little less common, but it works just as well as serving them with hot dogs and hamburgers. The strong taste of these onion rings will contrast nicely with the savory taste of a good fried chicken.

In essence, any food that is often served with French fries can be served with onion rings. People enjoy French fries as a side for the crunch they provide to a meal; onion rings can do the same thing. The main difference is that onion rings tend to have a sharper, more intense flavor than French fries.

If you want, you can also serve onion rings as an appetizer. You'll often see onion rings on restaurant menus under “appetizers”. They're substantial enough to serve as a pre-main course, but aren't so filling as to leave you unable to eat your actual dinner. Make sure you make enough onion rings to satisfy your entire family or group! If you have any left over, you can offer them as a side or store them for another meal.
