Hot Chicken Casserole

This has lots of flavour and is simple to make.  I used a roaster chicken from the Super Store for the cooked chicken just to make it even easier.

2 cups Cooked chicken, chopped
1/4 cup French dressing
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp dry onion flakes
1/2 cup grated cheese
113 g French Fried Onion Rings, frozen

• Combine chicken and dressing in bowl.  
• Add celery, mayonnaise and onion flakes.  
• Place in 1.5 L Casserole.
• Sprinkle cheese over chicken and place Onion Rings on top.
• Bake uncovered in 375 oven for 35 minutes.

Spiced Beer Battered Onion Rings

A tempura like batter with a little extra spice really makes this onion ring, and hey - who doesn't love cooking with beer??  Serve these with grilled steak or chicken.

1 cup lager
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large spanish onions, peeled
Oil for deep frying

1. Whisk together lager, flour paprika, cumin, cayenne, salt and vegetable oil in a large bowl.
2. Cut onions into 1/4 inch rounds, separate into rings.
3. Heat oil in wok or deep fryer until thermometer reaches 350F.  Stir rings into batter and fry a few at a time until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.  Drain on paper towels.

Makes 4 servings.
