Tips

  • Use ice-cold club soda for the batter to ensure crispiness.
  • Use one hand to dredge in batter and the other for breadcrumbs to keep it clean.
  • Deep fry until golden brown (GBD) or until desired crispiness is achieved.
  • Add truffle garlic salt for extra flavor.
  • Sriracha can be added for a spicy kick.
  • Corn starch is the magic ingredient to make them crispy.
  • If the batter is too thick, add more club soda.
  • Push the inner part of the onion out to create rings and separate them.
  • Cut the onion about a half-inch thick for ideal rings.
  • Peel the onion from both ends before slicing.
  • Cut both ends of the onion and remove the outer layers before slicing.
