1) I don't know how they managed to get such a beautiful picture of these onion rings. I could not get the coating to adhere to ANY of the onion rings... much of it stayed behind in the bag (though I do notice that this step is NOT pictured in the magazine). 2) These tasted NOTHING like barbecue... cumin? Yes. 3) I made no changes to this recipe whatsoever, so I'm very disappointed. So much effort for so little result. I'll just keep buying par-fried onion rings from the freezer and baking them.
Barbecue-Flavored Onion Rings
Oxmoor House
Regular yellow onions will work in this recipe, but sweet onions have a milder flavor. Coating the onion rings with breadcrumbs in batches keeps the crumbs dry for maximum crispness. Rotate pans during cooking for even browning.
