this is by far the best onion ring recipe i have tried.that nice crunch from the cornmeal is excellent.the spices are perfect and now i'm to full to write any more. THANKS
Read MoreI wish I'd had something to add to the cornmeal, I thought that the onion rings were to grainy with the cornmeal (maybe flour?). I didn't crowd the skillet but think that they could have been better.

This isn't a bad recipe, I've used it twice. A tad messy the first time, just be careful and make sure the oil doesn't get to hot quick, otherwise the rings fry really quick, and they're not done completely.
Good flavor(we left out the thyme)DH really liked them! Served with fried shrimp and baked potato. Now thats some good eatin!
Followed the recipe with no changes and the onion rings were great. However, I scaled the ingredients for the batter down to 3 servings and did pickle spears instead of onions. We now have a new family favorite!
These were amazing! They're definitely going on my list of 'things to make when there's company for dinner'.
Loved the cornmeal coating!!! Turned out fantastic! Will make these again. I did leave out the thyme as I am currently in Turkey and the thyme I find here is a bit different. Otherwise a fantastic onion ring and rather easy! I thinking I may modify the coating to fit it for chicken poppers!
Made these as a side to Ranch Burgers and they were a huge hit! No leftovers! I followed the recipe exactly and they were perfect!
oh my gosh. so amazing!!! this is the best onion ring coating i have ever had!! don't leave out any of the steps. the triple dip is the trick to thick and crunchy coating.
I thought these were going to be a disaster when I first started making them. The coating doesn't stay on that well if the rings are very thick, so I'd cut them between 1/4 and 1/2 inch. Once they were cooked though, they were quite good. Even my 8 year old said.... I don't like onion rings, but these are great.
This recipes is really good. When I dipped them twice in the cornmeal batter, they turned out even better. The crust was much thicker and cruncher. My husband ate most of them and there were no left overs. I reduced the recipe to 3 servings and used 1 medium to large onion and it was the perfect amount for two people.
These were AMAZING! Followed the recipe exactly except scaled in half. Best onion rings I've ever tasted!
Husband said best he ever had! The cornmeal makes it so crunchy yet they are still light. The Vidalias we had were so sweet and mild tasting compared to the typical onion taste. WOW!
Really good! Next time I will add a few more seasonings and salt for a bit more kick.
These were delicious and really crunchy! I subbed soy milk for dairy milk, and only added salt and paprika to the cornmeal mixture (ommitting the other spices). Everyone loved them.
These are delicious!! Crispy and light with just the right amount of seasoning!
I made these for a July 4th cookout. They were a hit! Not hard to make but they are time consuming. I wouldn't make them too often because of this, but the recipe is definitely a keeper. Next time, I would spice them up a bit more.
Nice crunchy onion rings and the batter doesn't fall off. Left out the thyme since I didn't have it, but the paprika, sugar, and pepper give it a nice flavor. Yum!
I tried this recipe and it was the best onion rings I've ever made! They came out perfect. I adjusted the seasonings to what I had on hand and they were still great. I'm keeping this one for a long time!
A real treat and they cook up perfectly. The only issue is that they never make it to the table because everyone runs out to the fryer and eats them as I cook them. This is a great recipe!
After I made this and made a huge mess, I realized I will add the flour for the first coat TO the milk, then dredge in the cornmeal mix. More like batter...just a thought
These are the best homemade onion rings ever. The breading is not too heavy but offers great taste and excellent crunch. Definitely a keeper.
Really good, very crispy!! I have never deep fried anything but followed directions exactly & they turned out really well!
I wish I'd had something to add to the cornmeal, I thought that the onion rings were to grainy with the cornmeal (maybe flour?). I didn't crowd the skillet but think that they could have been better.
These onion rings were great. I skipped a step and just dipped the rings in milk then dredged them in the cornmeal flour mixture then fried them until golden brown in oil.
My family loved them!! Made tons from one batch of the recipe. Feed 6 with enough left for 2 or 3 more helpings. Will make again!
Instead of milk, I used buttermilk AND most importantly, I let the rings soak in cold water in the fridge for a couple of hours. Ideally I would have left them soaking in the water over night. Nonetheless, they turned out perfectly and so crunchy and as good as any diner. Very helpful to coat them ALL and have them sitting on a tray. Total time, including prepping the onions, coating, cook time, all told, about an hour. I will definitely make these again!
