Beer Marinated Onion Rings

Made my beer marinated Onion Rings for the family - they were almost gone before we sat down to eat.   I fry them in batches, and as soon as they're cool enough to touch, everyone is gobbling them up.   I use stiffly beaten egg whites to keep the flour coating on, which creates a very light but delicious crunch.  Use season salt for extra flavor, or try any other seasoning to make this recipe your own.

Beer Marinated Onion Rings

Ingredients:

• 4-5 large sweet onions, sliced into rings
• 3 cans of your favorite beer
• 6 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks
• 3 C flour
• peanut oil
• salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning

Directions:   In a large pot, add peanut oil to the desired level and heat until ready to fry.

Slice the onions into rings about 1/4 of an inch thick, toss into the largest zip lock bag and pour the beer in - remove as much air as you can, zip it shut and marinate in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

 In a large bowl, beat the eggs white until stiff peaks form.   Drain the beer from the onion rings and toss them with the egg whites.   Shake off the excess.

In a separate zip lock bag add the flour then add the egg white coated onion rings and zip shut then shake like crazy.   Add to the hot peanut oil and fry until browned.   Drain and season with salt and pepper or your favorite seasoning.
