Copycat Burger King Onion Rings

1. 1

   Heat up your shortening or oil to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Cut onions into 1/4 inch thick slices, then separate the slices into rings.

3. 3

   (I leave 2 rings together for a thicker onion ring).

4. 4

   Pour the milk, flour and breadcrumbs in three separate bowls.

5. 5

   (To make it easy, I mix the flour and milk together, and it seems to stick better as well.

6. 6

   If the flour/milk mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to make it the right consistency for dipping).

7. 7

   Now bread all of the onion rings: First dip an onion into the milk, then into the flour.

8. 8

   Dip it back into the milk, then into the breadcrumbs; and once more into the milk and into the breadcrumbs.

9. 9

   (Or, if you mix the flour and milk like I do, dip in flour/milk mixture, then breadcrumbs, and repeat once or twice more).

10. 10

    This gives each onion ring a nice thick breading.

11. 11

    Fry a handful of the rings at a time for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown.

12. 12

    Remove rings from the oil to a rack or paper towels to drain.

13. 13

    Lightly salt them and serve them up right away.
