Pro Tips for Success
- Choose the right onion: Sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla work best for size and flavor.
- Double-coat for crunch: Flour → Egg → Flour ensures that crispy outer shell.
- Maintain oil temperature: Keep it around 375°F — too hot burns, too cool makes it greasy.
- Use tongs or a spider strainer: For safe handling when lowering or removing the onion from hot oil.
