Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Coat the Onion Rings
Take a few onion rings at a time and dip them into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Drain and Cool
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt while still hot.
