Crispy Onion Straws

Submitted by willhaveanother

"These Onion Straws are so great it also has a kick to it as well. You can eat it as side with your meal, or use them to top on salads, burgers (as a rodeo burger or BBQ steak burger), or chicken sandwiches. If you add BBQ sauce on the side as a dipping sauce, it tastes a lot better! Even with ranch! For me I like to use Montgomery Inn BBQ sauce to dip the onion straw in because that is what Montgomery Inn does for their onion straws & Montgomery Inn is one of my favorite restaurants!"
