Like the rest of you, I don't deep fry anything. I used to have a deep fryer and wound up deep frying everything. Seriously bad idea, I was even doing tempura broccoli and carrots...got a tad carried away. The best onion rings in my opinion are from A&W. I dip them in sweet and sour sauce. Pretty sure they use corn meal and they are so crunchy and delicious! They only give you a few too, not enough to share
