Appetizer -Beer Battered Onion Rings
One of my favorite things in the entire world are fried onion rings. I absolutely love them. I have vivid memories as a kid going to our favorite restaurant and they would bring out a huge stack of onion rings and I would devour them in minutes. This is my version of a classic. I wanted to keep the recipe simple but make a killer sauce. I love Sriracha Sauce and it adds such a nice tang to the homemade ranch.
