BBQ Bacon Onion Rings

8/8/2014

2 Comments

 
   One late night, I was pursuing one of my fav foodie sites, FoodGawker, and I saw something magical....bacon wrapped onion rings.....mmmmmm.....
   The next day (when I wasn't tired and hungry for everything), I looked at the recipe again. I decided I didn't want to deep fry them (though I still do want to make the paleo onion rings in the batter from that blog-which I will have to fry), so I started looking for other versions of this. I found this one, but this guy is hardcore, and uses a smoker which I for sure don't own! 
   So, as a food loving' blogger I decided I would just figure it out (gosh, it's bacon and onions, how hard could it be!?) and give it a shot!

BBQ'd Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings 

Ingredients:

  • 2 large onions (I've only tried with spanish onions, but try whatever you want!), skins removed
  • Bacon! Alright, seriously, it takes me about 1 bacon slice per ring. Bacon can be different lengths though, so just have a whole pack ready! 
  • Skewers


Method:

  1. Heat your bbq to medium (that's about 400 degrees on my bbq)
  2. Slice the onion into at least 1 inch thick slices. Carefully push the rings apart, leaving 2 together for strength. You may only end up with a dozen onion rings once they are all sliced and separated because you can't/don't want to use rings that are too small.
  3. Start to wrap (as tight as you can without ripping your bacon) your onion rings. Be sure to wrap on an angle so that the bacon goes a long way. Some of the larger rings require 1 1/2 pieces of bacon. 
  4. Finish by gently sliding a skewer through the onion ring to secure the bacon. Make sure you skewer at the place you finished wrapping your bacon to secure the end. Leave a long "tail" on your skewer to use as a handle to pick up and flip your rings
  5. Place onto the top rack of the hot grill, close the lid, and let them cook for about 20 minutes. Check them at the 10 minute mark to be sure you don't have any flare-ups (though on the upper rack of a bbq, it shouldn't be an issue)
  6. After 20 minutes, flip the rings over, and cook an additional 20-25 minutes, until the bacon looks nice and crispy. 
  7. Remove from bbq, and enjoy!

   I made the mistake of giving some of these to my kids who LOVED them! I say it was a mistake because I had hoped they wouldn't like them and I wouldn't have to share.....hungry, greedy Mom moment....

   Anywho, you will want to make these (well, unless you're my lovely, beautiful, vegetarian sister!). They take a bit of work to wrap, but they are worth it! They would make an impressive meaty add-on to a dinner with guests (you can prep them ahead of time). Think grilled chicken breast (or a whole chicken), roasted potato, a big salad, and bacon wrapped onion rings. Yumm-o. Good dinner. Hey, how about all the links in this post! Sheesh. 
   Okey dokey, have a great weekend everyone!
