BETTY'S TIP: Nobody likes soggy onion rings. To keep your rings crispy and crunchy, make sure the oil is up to temperature (375°) before you begin frying. If you fry a large batch of rings, you may have to wait a few minutes for the oil to heat up before you begin again. The only way to really tell if the temperature is right is to use a special deep-fat or candy thermometer.
