“My onions are soggy!” Your oil wasn’t hot enough. Crank the heat. Or you crowded the pan. Fry in batches, friend.
“The coating fell off!” You skipped the buttermilk soak. Or you didn’t shake off enough liquid before flouring. Wet onion + hot oil = a naked, sad ring.
“They burned!” You walked away. Don’t walk away. Deep frying is a commitment. Like adopting a puppy, but with more oil splatters.
