Really Great Onion Rings

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"I just use regular yellow onions, you can use sweet onions if you wish, these taste just as good at room temperature as they do hot, you can make hours in advance then just crisp them up on a baking sheet, seasoned salt only for this ;-)"
