Bacon-Wrapped Onion Rings

A delicious, smoked treat that goes great as a side at your favorite BBQ outing. Plenty meaty for a main course, but meant for the serious BBQ'er.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Large Onions
  • 3 Tbsp Favorite BBQ Rub
  • 2 Tbsp Barbeque Sauce
  • 1 Lb Bacon (Thin)

Equipment

  • RecTeq RT-700 (Smoker of choice)
  • Jerky Rack
  • Wood: Apple

Method
 

  1. Preheat smoker for about 275 degrees
  2. Slice Onions about an inch thick. Keep two rings together to give the ring some structure. Depending on your preference - You can use the whole onion or the largest part. (I post for you, so I chose three onions and picked the large, most evenly sized ones)
  3. Wrap the double ring with a piece of bacon. Stretch the bacon and ensure the whole onion is covered
  4. Place completed Onions on a jerky rack, Bradley rack or something similar for easy transport.
  5. Sprinkle a bit of your favorite sweet and savory rub on both sides of the ring.
  6. Place in smoker for about an hour and half - flipping at the halfway point.
  7. Remove from smoker, let it cool for about 5 minutes and apply a light drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce
  8. Enjoy!
Optional: Burned and Crispy
  1. I like a crispy onion ring, so after the 90 minutes, I cranked the pellet grill to 400 and cooked it for another 10 minutes until they were burnt. Totally a preference move.
