Battered Onion Rings

What is it?

Whole onion rings come coated in a thick batter and fried until golden, so you get a crisp shell around a soft centre. Onion cooks through and turns sweet, while the batter stays substantial rather than paper-thin. Compared with the usual chips-and-nuggets side lineup, these are a rarer option in Australian drive-throughs. Hungry Jack's keeps them as a simple fried side, distinct from the burgers, wraps, and chips that make up most of the menu. Batter here is heavier than what you'd find on a pub-style ring, giving each piece a sturdier crunch and a bigger contrast between the crisp shell and the soft, steamed onion inside.
