I bought some frozen Nathan's Onion rings and made them for dinner tonight.  They met expectations.  To clarify, my expectations were extremely low.

They cooked up nicely in the air fryer in 13 minutes.  Nice and crispy and you would expect.  That is the good news.  The only good news.

Onion rings is a poor description.  A more accurate description would be:  A ring of breading formed around a very thin vegetable membrane.

They will be featured in an episode of Meals for Lazy Old People.

 I've never liked onion rings.  I do remember when I first moved here to SC my mother had at least 6 bags of frozen battered onion rings in the freezer.  I believe the brand was Ore Ida.  I asked her if she wanted me to heat up some onion rings in the oven and she said no.  Apparently my dad liked them so she kept buying them but she forgot they already had some.  I wound up throwing away a lot of frozen onion rings.  I won't be trying the Nathan's brand. ;)

I like them if they are properly made with a decent amount of onion. I've not had them in ages so thought I'd give them a try.
Some years ago I had some that were made from chopped onion and somehow extruded to be a coated ring.  They were far better than these.
