Recipe Notes
Avoid cooking too many onion rings all at the same time. When the pan gets crowded, the rings have a tendency to stick together, which can lower the temperature of the oil. Cooking them in oil that’s not hot enough can result in soggy onion rings. So, it’s best to be patient and to cook in batches.
