Very nice recipe. I first had these in the 70's mixed with deep-fried strips of jalapenos in a boardwalk restaurant on the east coast. I think I'll try to find a recipe for those to go with these. Cutting them in strips makes them easier to eat than rings. Now more taking just one bite of the ring and having the entire onion slide out.

Reviewed for PAC Fall 09. I liked this recipe. The technique made it easier to cook the strips. I subsituted pre-packaged chicken breader (Autry's) for the flour. It was already seasoned...so I used it. I will absolutely make these again. Thanks for posting the recipe, Linda.
