Hot and Spicy Onion Rings
Snacks & Appetizers
Prep time:
15 minutesCooking time:
20 minutes“You can save money by using the least expensive generic brand of vegetable oil for frying these onion rings. Corn and canola oils are usually priced the lowest. To economize, buy the largest bottle.”
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 6 cups oil
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
1
Heat oil in an electric deep fryer or large pot to 375°F, or until a bread cube browns in 1 minute. Combine milk and onions in a large bowl; stir well.
2
Combine flour, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper on a plate or sheet of waxed paper. Coat onions in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
3
Lower onions gently in hot oil with metal tongs. Fry, turning once, until onions are browned and crisp, about 3 minutes per batch.
4
Drain onions on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately.

Cookin' xpress!
Prevent clogging your sink drain and dispose of the used oil in a quick way. Pour the completely cooled oil into an empty container with a tight-fitting lid. Place the container in a large plastic bag before placing in the garbage.

The best bargains on chicken wings, or already trimmed drumettes, can be found in the bulk packages that are often labeled family size. Look for them in the frozen food section of the grocer.
