I'm not sure what this does for the onions but I always soak them in milk for at least an hour, drain them, in batter and then fry. Always have been very good.
Fried Onion Rings
These are the perfect accompaniment to any burger.

2 cups flour
2 1/4 cups prosecco or other sparkling wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large vidalia or other sweet onions, peeled
1. Pour oil into a wide deep pot to a depth of 2" and heat over medium-high heat until temperature reaches 365º on a candy thermometer.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together flour and prosecco in a large bowl until batter is smooth; season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Slice onions into 1"-thick rounds, then separate into rings.
4. Working in small batches, coat onion rings in batter, then use a fork to transfer rings one at a time to hot oil, and deep-fry, turning often, until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes per batch.
5. Transfer onion rings with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Season to taste with salt.
