Caught a glimpse of how they prep onion rings back of house
I was waiting for my order and saw into the kitchen area. They double-dip the rings in batter for extra crunch, which I never knew. Makes me appreciate why some places have better texture than others. Kinda want to try making them at home now...

Relax, it's just onion rings. Aaron_cooper, you're overthinking a side dish.

That part about double dipping the batter actually explains a lot. I always figured the best onion rings were just from thicker cuts, but the double coat makes total sense for that crunch. Used to think my homemade ones failed because of the onion type. Now I'm betting it was my lazy single batter layer. Gonna have to try the double dip method next time, because that texture is everything.

Oh totally, the double dip is a complete game changer. I tried making them once and just did a single wet batter that slid right off in the fryer, ended up with soggy onion soup. Letting that first coat set up before the second one is the secret step I was missing.
