My first time making onion rings! I don't deep fry much at all....as I was starting my husband said, "you know where the fire extinguisher is right?". Well, I made it though, got a little messy, but produced some wonderful tasting rings! Thanks Bobby!!

The onion rings were just OK....pretty blah, really. And I even added loads of extra cayenne. Didn't try making the dipping sauce.
