Spicy Pickled Onions

Spicy pickled onions are a bold and tangy treat that combine the sharp bite of thinly sliced onions with a fiery kick of heat. The brine is infused with a zesty blend of vinegar, sugar, and a kick of chili flakes or fresh peppers, creating the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors.
