These came out so good! Light, crunchy, and just plain delish.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We love snacking on onion rings and these are flavorful ones. You do have to work fast and keep the batter cool because if it gets too warm, it gets sticky and won't coat the onion. We love the simple seasonings in the bread crumb coating. You taste the herbs and spices in it. Once fried, they're crunchy and super yummy.
