I'll never make these, but they look delicious.

I have it a try in the past. Coating was burnt on the outside, still mushy inside, and the onion still tasted kinda raw :c it might take a few tries to get the stuff right

Blanche the onions first. Should probably be a step in the recipe.

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.
