Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet onions
  • dry rub seasonings (like McCormick Grill Mates)
  • 2 lbs thinly-sliced bacon
  • prepared barbecue sauce
  • Sriracha Mayo Dipping Sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

Method

  • Slice onions into 1/2 inch thick slices and separate into rings. Dust with dry spice rub of your choice.
  • Wrap each ring with a slice of bacon, smaller rings may need only 1/2 slice. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
  • Sear the wrapped onion rings directly over hot coals for about 1 minute per side, then move to the cooler side of the grill and cook, covered, for about an hour or until the bacon is crispy.
  • Mix the Dipping Sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • When the bacon is crispy, brush with barbecue sauce and continue to cook for about 15 minutes, to set the sauce.
