Baked Jalapeno Onion Rings
One of my all time favorite guiltiest pleasures when it came to the fast food world was Sonic's onion rings. Nothing cured a hangover like a greasy snack such as that-and the taste, the crunch was just so tempting! Since I ditched my old habits, I found a newer, better way to indulge in my favorite past time- by baking them instead of frying! I even added a little kick to them-a spicy kick that is!
