Onion rings are a type of fast food commonly found in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and other places. Pig Stand restaurants claim credit for inventing the onion ring in the 1920s.[citation needed] However other sources state that the onion ring was developed in 1955, when Sam Quigley began the process of perfecting his recipes for hand cut and hand breaded onion rings and sold a limited number of them out of his Nebraska storefront.[citation needed]
Onion rings are cut onions that are sliced to present a ring profile (after punching out each layer of the disc) which are battered and deep fried.
