I just used some generic batter I got at the store, The next time I would use a batter that has more flavor to it like a beer batter or something....this was just something to try to see if I liked it. After you cook them indirect at a low to medium temp, pull them off the grill and let cool to room temperature. When they have cooled ...batter them and deep fry for a few minutes until golden brown. It takes ( at least) two slices of bacon per ring. If you don't have a fryer you can use a deep pan or pot.....just bring the oil up to 350-375 degrees and drop them in.
