The rings are cooked long enough so that they usually break when you bite into them so that you're not pulling out the entire ring of onion on the initial bite. The batter is crispy and has a good flavor to it. I would guess they use the a similar batter as they do for Popeyes' chicken.
The rings are especially good with Popeyes' ranch sauce which is free upon request. Looking at the Popeyes' website, it doesn't seem like onion rings are available at all locations.
