Spicy Onion Rings

I am not sure what I did wrong with this recipe, but the batter did not stick to the onion rings very well. I solved this by pouring some of the batter down over the onion rings in the skillet and then I swirled the onion rings in the batter while it was crisping up. That helped to coat the onion rings, but it also meant a big pile of stuck-together onion rings, which I didn't mind.

I used a Peru sweet onion for the onion rings and used my new mandoline to slice them very thin. I will be making these again as they were very good!
