06
Drain on paper towels and season with additional salt immediately.
07
Use as a topping or side. Best served fresh.

lightbulb The chef's notes

“Soak the onion rings in milk first so the flour has something to grab onto for a thick coat. Fry in small batches at 350 so the oil stays hot and they crisp up golden instead of going greasy.”
