Step 3: Bread the onion rings
- Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
- Dip each onion ring into the batter, making sure it is fully coated.
- Then, dredge the battered onion rings in the bread crumbs, again ensuring they are completely covered.
Step 4: heat the oil
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep skillet to 375°F (190°C). The oil should be deep enough to allow the onion rings to float.
- Test the temperature of the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it. If it sizzles and comes to the top quickly, it's ready.
Step 5: Fry the onion rings

- Using tongs, carefully lower a few onion rings into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the fryer; cook them in batches.
- Fry the onion rings until they are golden brown, usually taking about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the onion rings with tongs or a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 6: Serve
- Serve the onion rings hot. They are perfect with dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or a spicy mayonnaise.
Enjoy your homemade onion rings as a delicious snack or side dish!
