How To Make Crispy Onion Rings Baked in the Oven

I like to use a yellow onion when making onion rings.
I find a baseball-sized onion serves two people, and makes a great side dish for any burger or sandwich.
Slice each end of the onion off and then remove the skin.
Cut the onion into slices about " thick and then separate the onion into rings --use even the center and smallest rings!
Place the separated onion rings into a ziplock bag with about 2 Tbsp of flour.
Seal the bag with plenty of air inside to give the onion room to move freely.
Shake the bag until the onion slices are well coated in dry flour, then set the bag aside.
In a bowl, Combine the bread crumbs, cornmeal, and seasonings.
Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, break two eggs and whisk.
Whisk in the milk and melted butter.
Whisk in about cup of flour.
The batter should end up being similiar to a thin pancake batter.
Now you're ready to batter your onion rings and arrange them on a baking sheet or pan.
Use a fork --or chopsticks!-- to handle the onions during the battering process...it will be less messy.
Take each onion ring coated in dry flour and dip it into the pancakey batter.
Remove from the batter and let excess batter drip off, then drop into the breadcrumb mix and coat the onion completely.
Carefully, without knocking off the batter, place the battered onion ring onto the baking sheet.
Arrange the rings so they are not touching...you can place the smaller rings inside larger rings.
Bake onion rings an oven pre-heated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, about 20 minutes,
turning the onions once about halfway through the cooking process.
And that's it.
