Crispy Parmesan Onion Rings with Sriracha Sauce

Onion rings are one of my all time favorite guilty pleasures. I would take them over fries any day. These parmesan onion rings are deliciously crunchy, and are always a huge hit. They are fantastic on a burger or just as a side.  I make them every time with my jalapeno pepper jack chicken burger.  Or just munchin a big ole plate while watching the game. This recipe gives you the perfect onion ring, crispy on the outside with a sweet onion on the inside…So good!

Now lets talk about this sauce…it is amazing! Just a touch of heat from the sriracha takes each crispy bite to the next level. Also perfect for dunking some fries, it is so good!
