DELICIOUS ONION RINGS AND MORE

This recipe makes the best tasting Onion Rings ever.  I wish they were
healthy , lol.

For the flour mixture, I put flour into a bowl, and add plenty of my absolutely favorite
seasoning ever....."Tony Chacherie's  Creole Seasoning" and whisk it well.

 In this pic, I also have some boneless
chicken breast strips, but, you can
clearly see the Onion
Rings.  They were so delicious!!!









These are my "treasures" that I bought on Ebay, about 6 or 7 years ago.
Aren't they beautiful?  The front one, is called a "milk bowl"; not sure why?
But, it is perfect for the flour mixture, to batter the Onion Rings, and chicken strips.
The bowl in the back is taller, and it is perfect for the "egg wash".  

I love them.  They are so nostalgic looking.  The design is called "picket fences"
because of the "peaks and valleys" on the sides.  

~My tip~
By tossing  the onion slices in the flour first, then, in the egg wash, then, back into to flour,
it ( the flour)gives the onion rings something for the egg wash to cling to , therefore, making them crunchier when deep fried.

For the Flour mixture, I use about 2 cups of all
purpose Flour and to it, I add one teaspoon of
Tony Chacheries' Creole Seasoning; whisk it
well.

~If I'm just frying Onion Rings, I reduce the
amount of Flour to 1 cup and the Seasoning to
1/2 teaspoon . 



For the "egg wash", I mix two eggs, about 1/2 teaspoon of Tony Chacheries' , and about 1/4
cup of  Evaporated Milk, and whisk it well.

~Depending on how much chicken you are frying, you may need to add another egg, and 1/8 cup of  Evaporated Milk, and about 1/4
teaspoon Tony's Seasoning or more. 

Deep fry until golden brown, drain on paper towels, on top of  a brown paper bag on a
pizza pan or a cookie sheet.  Serve hot.

  I use the same flour mixture,egg wash, then, flour mixture
for the chicken too.  Fabulous!!!  You can also use this recipe for battering zucchini strips
or slices, yellow squash slices, mushrooms, cauliflower florets, okra and anything else that
you would fry like tenderized sirloin steak for county fried steak, pork chops....you can
make your own chicken nuggets  and freeze them .  When you are in a hurry, just place the
pieces on a sheet of foil, on a pizza pan, and warm them in the oven til crispy.



ps   I love to mix ketchup and red hot sauce( I use habanero sauce)  together and dip the
 onion rings in it.
I hope you will try these wonderful Onion Rings.  Let me know what you think of this recipe
after you have tried it.

I have found the perfect way to fill qrt. size freezer bags with soup, roast beef, spaghetti sauce or lasagna meat sauce, without  spilling ; I fit a qrt. size bag into a large, plastic tumbler ( drinking cup).  It is the perfect size and leaves enuf room for expansion in the bag while freezing..... I will be buying several of these to use for this purpose; you can usually find these in packs of 4, at the Dollar General, Family Dollar, or Dollar Tree .  http://pinterest.com/cajunindian/great-ideas/
