BACON-WRAPPED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Wrap 2 slices of bacon through the middle of each onion ring and fully around to cover, leaving the center of the ring open. Transfer to a baking rack on a baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is fully cooked, about 25 minutes.

SRIRACHA BACON WRAPPED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Remove the outer skin of onion and slice rings about 1/2 inch thick (like the photo above). Separate rings, keeping two together for each separated ring (doubling up preserves the onion ring shape). Keep the larger rounds for making the onion rings. You can save the smaller onion parts for another recipe.
• To make the dipping sauce, combine honey, sriracha and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush each onion lightly with the sauce.
• For each ring, you will need about 2 pieces of bacon. Wrap bacon around onion rings, tucking ends of bacon into the last wrapped section and then placing a toothpick through at the places where each bacon ends, in order to secure during cooking. You can also use skewers.
• Dunk each bacon-wrapped ring in sauce and then place on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake onions for about 30 minutes. Then remove from oven and flip onions over, cooking for another 20 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Check in on the onions about 5 minutes before they are done to make sure your bacon is not charring too much. You may need to lower temperature or move to a lower shelf in the oven for the last few minutes if your bacon is charring too fast before it's finished being crispy. If your bacon is crispy but is not charred at all, you may need to adjust the temperature higher (about 15-25 degrees) for the last 2-3 minutes until you get a slight char.
• Remove bacon onion rings from oven and let the bacon cool slightly and crisp up further. While waiting, make the glaze. Add sriracha, honey and soy sauce to a small saucepan and bring to a low boil. In a small bowl, completely dissolve cornstarch in water and then add to boiling mixture. Stir until sauce is thickened and then turn off stove. Brush a light layer of glaze on each of the finished bacon rings before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F, rack in the middle.
• Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top.
• Lightly spray the cooling rack.
• Place the brown sugar in a pie tin.
• Place the Sriracha in a bowl.
• Gently separate the onion rings leaving 2 rings together (you want to double up on the onions when you wrap them). For this dish you want the larger rings. The smaller, inner rings you can set aside and use in another dish.
• Take 2 strips of bacon and coat each side with brown sugar (doesn't have to be caked on but coated evenly).
• If your hands are sensitive, put on plastic gloves and using a pastry brush or rubber tipped brush, baste the Sriracha on all sides of the onion rings (leaving the 2 together).
• Starting at one end of the bacon, snuggly but gently wrap the bacon around the onion ring slightly overlapping itself. You should be able to get half way around (again, depends on how big your rings are).
• Take the second piece of bacon and place one end over top of the previous piece of bacon (where you left off) and continue wrapping until you have completely wrapped the onion ring in bacon.
• If you wish at this point you can skewer the bacon in place (I didn't).
• Place end side down on the rack and continue wrapping the rest of the rings. For the smaller rings I used 1 1/2 slices of bacon. You really don't want to overload this with bacon as you want the bacon to cook evenly.
• Once all the rings are wrapped, place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
• Using tongs GENTLY flip over.
• Cook for another 15-20 minutes. The last 3 minutes I broiled them as I wanted that charred appearance.
• Remove from the oven and immediately plate. They will be soft so be careful but the bacon will crisp up and they will become crispy crunchy.

• Side note: To help with cleanup, have a sink of hot soapy water ready that you can immediately put your cooling rack inches Don't let this stuff dry on the rack as it's a pain to get off. Soaking it for 15 minutes will take it off really easily.

BACON-WRAPPED ONION RINGS.

Steps:

• Slice onions into 1/2 inch thick slices and separate into rings. Dust with dry spice rub of your choice.
• Wrap each ring with a slice of bacon, smaller rings may need only 1/2 slice. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
• Sear the wrapped onion rings directly over hot coals for about 1 minute per side, then move to the cooler side of the grill and cook, covered, for about an hour or until the bacon is crispy.
• Mix the Dipping Sauce ingredients and set aside.
• When the bacon is crispy, brush with barbecue sauce and continue to cook for about 15 minutes, to set the sauce.
