About the Hungry Jack's Battered Onion Rings

Battered Onion Rings are $5.20 and 1,196 kJ. They are the alternative side at Hungry Jack's, and the battered rather than crumbed coating is what sets them apart from most versions in Australian fast food.

Batter and crumb behave differently. A crumbed ring has a rough surface that holds sauce and shatters when you bite it. A battered ring has a smooth, sealed shell that puffs slightly in the oil and gives rather than shatters. It also keeps the onion inside steaming in its own moisture, so the onion stays sweet and soft rather than drying out.

That matters because the failure mode of an onion ring is the onion sliding out of the coating on the first bite. A batter grips the onion better than a crumb does, which is why these hold together as well as they do.

On the numbers they are lighter than they look: 1,196 kJ with 20.4g of fat and only 336mg of sodium, which is the lowest sodium of any hot side on the menu. Carbs are 23.6g, well under Thick Cut Chips at 41.1g. Protein is 2.6g and effectively incidental.

Who it suits: anyone who wants a side that is not chips, and anyone ordering a burger that already has chips in it. They also work well shared across a table alongside chips, since the two textures complement each other.

Pair them with any burger, or with Thick Cut Chips at $3.45 if one side is not enough. They also appear inside the Cowboy Whopper at $15.55.

How to Make the Hungry Jack's Battered Onion Rings at Home?

Battered rings are easier than crumbed ones and better in a burger. Cold soda water in the batter is the entire trick. Makes 4 servings.

Tips

  • The soda water has to be cold. Cold batter hitting hot oil is what creates the puff, and room temperature soda water gives you a dense coating.
  • Cornflour in the mix is not optional. Plain flour alone gives you a bready shell rather than a crisp one.
  • Make the batter just before frying. It loses its fizz within about twenty minutes.

Variations

  • Add cayenne to the batter for the angry onions used in the Angry Whopper.
  • Put three rings inside a burger for a home Cowboy Whopper.
  • Swap the soda water for beer, which works on exactly the same principle.

Serve immediately with an aioli or a BBQ sauce. Onion rings are the one side where the dipping sauce genuinely improves them.
