    Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat.

  8. 8
    Give it a gentle tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.I suggest completing this entire step before starting to fry rings. Its very easy to burn them if youre distracted. I may or may not be speaking from experience.

  9. 9
    Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. They should float to the top immediately if they dont your oil is not hot enough. Turn rings over once during the frying time.
