Country Range Group introduces Beer Battered Onion Rings

Country Range Group has introduced Beer Battered Onion Rings, which are claimed to keep their crunch for at least 30 minutes.

The product, which is made with whole Spanish onions, is designed to tap into the continued popularity of elevated sides, sharing dishes and loaded menu favourites.

Described as larger and more uniform in size than standard onion rings, Country Range Beer Battered Onion Rings are available in 10 x 1kg packs.

Suitable for vegans, vegetarians and lactose intolerant people, they come frozen and can be cooked in the oven in 10-12 minutes, air fryer in 10 minutes, and deep fried in less than three minutes.

Rachel Porter, Country Range Group own brand manager, said: “Onion rings have become a must for menus and are the ultimate snack staple that are margin deliverers when served solo or just as valuable paired up with burgers, sandwiches and street food dishes. With customers increasingly looking for familiar favourites that deliver on indulgence, flavour and texture, it was important that our new onion rings offered something extra.”

“Using whole Spanish onions gives them a naturally sweet, mild flavour and satisfying bite, while their larger uniform size creates a really impressive serve. Crucially for busy operators, they’ll keep their crunch for at least 30 minutes under a heat lamp, helping maintain that all-important crispy texture during busy services.

“With oven, air fryer and deep-fryer cooking options, they’re an ideal choice for fast-paced kitchens looking for a versatile, quick-serve menu addition.”
