DELICIOUS  CAJUN ONION RINGS , FRIED CHICKEN AND A WHOLE LOT MORE


This recipe makes the best tasting Onion Rings ever.  I wish they were healthy, lol.
For the flour mixture, I put flour into a bowl, and add plenty of my absolutely favorite seasoning ever....."Tony Chacherie's  Creole Seasoning" and whisk it well, plus Garlic Powder ,  Onion Powder,"
good Paprika , and a little bit of Black Pepper.
This mixute is fabulous for Onion Rings, Fried Chicken, Country Fried Steak, Pork Chops, Mushrooms, Zucchini Strips or slices, Yellow Squash slices, Cauliflower Florets, Okra or anything else you want to fry.

 
 In this pic, I also have some boneless                              chicken breast strips, but, you can clearly
see the Onion Rings. They were so delicious!!!                                                                    

These are my "treasures" that I bought on Ebay, about 9 or 10 years ago. Aren't they beautiful?
The front one, is called a "milk bowl"; not sure why?

But, it is perfect for the flour mixture, to batter the Onion Rings, and chicken strips.

The bowl in the back is taller, and it is perfect for the "egg wash".      

I love them.  They are so nostalgic looking.  The design is called "picket fences" because of the "peaks and valleys" on the sides.

~My tip~
 By tossing the onion slices in the flour mixture first, then, in the eggwash, then, back into the flour mixture, 

it helps the eggwash to have something to cling to , before the final coating of flour, therefore, making for crunchier onion rings.
For the Flour Mixture, I whisk together:
2 C. All Purpose Flour 

1+ tsps. Tony Chacherie's Creole Seasoning
1+ tsps. Garlic Powder
1+ tsps. Onion Powder
1+ tsps. good Paprika

1+ tsps. Black Pepper 

Whisk it all very, very well.

For the "egg wash", I mix two eggs, about 1/2 teaspoon of Tony Chacheries' , and about 1/4

cup of  Evaporated Milk, and whisk it well.   

~Depending on how much chicken you are frying, you may need to add another egg, and 1/8 cup of  Evaporated Milk, and about 1/4 teaspoon Tony's Seasoning or more.  

Deep fry until golden brown, drain on paper towels, on top of  a brown paper bag on a pizza pan or a cookie sheet.  Serve hot.  

You can freeze the Chicken Strips ,so that when you are in a hurry and don't have time to cook, just place the strips on a sheet of foil on a pizza pan and warm them in the oven til crispy; 350 degrees.

ps   I love to mix ketchup and red hot sauce( I use habanero sauce) together and dip the onion rings in it.

I hope you will try these wonderful Onion Rings.
