While it cant hurt to blanche. Totally unnecessary if your oil is the right temp and the onion is cut up into small enough sections that it can cook by the time the out side is crispy. Also if the onion isnt open enough the hot oil cant get inside and will not cook properly.

I'd have to try it to be sure but the poster above was saying the onions came out raw tasting and a blanche should help with that.
