With this rainy weather, I felt like eating something different and decided to make FRIED ONION RINGS. Honestly, eating fried food too often isn't great for us, but indulging every now and then isn't bad. In this case, these are super easy to make, and for those who aren't big fans of onions, don't miss the chance to try them because the onion turns out super tender, and with the breadcrumbs, they’re crispy on the...

Slice the onions into rings and separate the rings from the slices. Place them on a plate and sprinkle with salt.
In a bowl, combine the milk, eggs, flour, grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Whisk and mix well until there are no lumps. The mixture should form a thick batter that adheres well to the onion rings when dipped.
Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan.
Once the oil is hot, dip the onion rings into the batter, ensuring they are well coated. Place them in the frying pan and let them fry until golden, first on one side and then flipping them to cook the other side.
When the onion rings are ready, remove them from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure the onion rings turn crispy and don't absorb too much oil.
You can experiment with different dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or spicy mayo for variety.
For an extra crispy texture, you can double coat the onion rings by dipping them in the batter, then in breadcrumbs, and frying them.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can use any grated cheese of your choice. Parmesan or cheddar works well for added flavor.
Can I bake the onion rings instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, for a healthier option.
How do I store leftover onion rings?
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to regain crispiness.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It's best to make the batter fresh, but you can prepare it a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
What type of onions work best for onion rings?
Large sweet onions like Vidalia or yellow onions work best as they have a mild flavor and tender texture.
