For extra crispy onion rings, chill the breaded onion rings in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before frying. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature and adjust as needed to maintain 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy onion rings. For a spicy kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.

Dec 24, 2024These onion rings are fantastic! The double-dredging makes them extra crispy, just like I remember from my childhood.

Dec 5, 2023The sweet onions really make a difference. They're perfectly balanced with the savory breading.
