I like it with the cayenne pepper it gives it a nice bite to the onions rings, These are awsome and the batter stays on the oinons rings too. I have made these many times, and my kids says there is no comparing to restrantant ones pdgall

Yes, the word is awesome! These rings are so crispy and tasty, just slightly sweet! I was little worried about 1 tbs of cayenne and used chillipowder, instead. Yum, not too hot at all, maybe will be brave enough for cayenne, next time.
