In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
