Cook's Note.
There are a handful of items I always keep on hand in my pantry: my 24/7 Rub, Holy Molasses Barbecue Sauce, and this jerk ketchup. Ketchup has been a favorite dressing of mine for as long as I can keep in mind, but I've always felt it was doing not have in the flavor department. And since I love Caribbean tastes so much, I felt it was just fitting that I added them to my ketchup also. This tasty dressing is best for topping a hamburger or dipping your fries in– attempt it and see.

Mmm looks really good! Like it! 🦇
Whoever’s reading this, i pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Amen I needed that thank u and God bless you!!!
It was nice to see a normal amount of food- one batch at a time.
I don’t understand why Eddie doesn’t have his own show on Food Network yet Guy Fieri has several and has taken over the channel. So many other great chefs out there.
I absolutely agree. I have boycotted Food Network on nights when Guy Fieri is on. I’m sick of him, to tell the truth.
@DJ OMEGAsame here. He’s on all the time!
DJ u comment the same crap 5 or 6 times. Nobody cares u all hate Guy. He gave me money to keep my restaurant going during the pandemic. He’s #1 for a reason
Well done. That is niice!
😋😋😋🍽🍽 I love onion rings
This man can cook me onion rings anytime- what a HANDSOME chef!
He’s gorgeous as well as being an awesome chef!
he can ring my onion anytime
I think there may be a queue 😉
There’s a thin skin on the inside of each ring, if you remove that skin when you bite into the onion ring it won’t slide out and it’ll leave it intact in the breading!
If you are making them for kids, or folks that don’t like the flavor beer imparts, you can use a sparkling water for the batter in place of the beer. The reason it works so well is because of the air bubbles. As they release they create pockets that give a better rise. If you want a more robust color you can also add paprika or smoked paprika to your batter to give a deeper color. I always love seeing a good onion ring cooking clip!
probably a lot crispier with carbonated water, or not so rich beer… sugar never helps anything crisp, in my experience
Must make this straight away!
His looks so good, I need to space mine. 😩
Making your own sauces… is so amazing to me..
This recipe looks delicious. I will say that I got a really bad burn once from using tongs with hot oil. When you go to pinch what you’re grabbing it can splash the oil. I had a scar on my hand for about 5 years from where the burn caused a blister. It’s safer to use a spider strainer if you have one.
Good knife technique sir. I grew up working in French restaurants and saw way too many people slice fingertips off when cutting onions for French onion soup, of which we go through 50 to 100 pounds of onions a day so you get really good with your knife skills fast! Looking forward to seeing what else you putting out there as this was a really well put together presentation.
So delicious 😋
Simply amazing ❤️ Thank you for sharing this recipe 👍🥰
Eddie Jackson I like to eat Onion rings they are so good keep up the good work
