Baked Barbecue Onion Ring

I was recently looking for a recipe that would go nicely with my Chicken Salad Sandwiches. I love a good side to a sandwich, whether it’s fries, cole slaw or potato chips. Something needs to sit on that plate besides the sandwich! Onion rings are my absolute favorite. I’ve made them before, but I was hoping to come up with something a little different. After much day-dreaming, baked bbq onion rings is what I decided on.

🛒 Ingredients Needed:

barbecue sauce
eggs
all purpose flour
panko breadcrumbs
sweet onions
cooking spray

✏️ How to make Baked BBQ Onion Rings:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place two baking sheets in the oven and let those preheat too.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, eggs and flour. Place the bread crumbs in a separate bowl.
Using tongs (or your fingers) dip an onion slice in the barbecue sauce mixture, shake the excess off and then dunk on all sides into the bread crumbs. Lay on a cool baking sheet. Repeat until all onion slices have been dunked.

How to Make Baked BBQ Onion Rings - Bake on a hot baking sheet

Remove the hot baking sheets from the oven and spray them lightly with cooking spray. Move the coated onions to the hot baking sheets. Spray the coated onions lightly with cooking spray.

Bake for about 6 minutes, or until golden, then use tongs to turn each onion ring over. Spray the other side of the onions with cooking spray and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Watch closely to make sure the crumbs are not browning too quickly or burning.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

❤️What I Love About This Recipe:

Even avid ketchup eaters will agree, you don’t need any of that stuff to dunk your onion rings into when eating these onion rings. The bbq sauce provides plenty of flavor, with the sauce already “built-in” to the ring.
They are lightly crisp with a great smoky/spicy flavor and they are not deep fried (yay!)
They are delicious!
