We were craving a bloomin onion, and just worked w what we had at home. Sadly wasn't able to make the dip, but will next time! I also just made onion rings bc I was a little afraid to mess up :). I may hold back a tiny bit on the cayenne next time bc the kids thought they were too spicy. BUT these were fabulous and I will make them again!

Absolutely delicious! I have been eyeing this recipe for quite some time, and finally got around to making it. So glad I did. The onion was awesome and the sauce was just incredible. Just like you would get in a restaurant.

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! came across this recipe todya and just had to make it and it came out better than i expected. Instead of putting the flou mixture in a bowl i did it in a large ziploc bag and shook the bag to ensure that it got completely covered. It worked great and made for an easy clean up. This recipe is perfect has a good amount of kick from the cayenne its just all around great!!

I couldn't get the onion to coat properly. Next time I will try the cold water previously suggested. However the sauce was great!

Perfect, don't change a thing. EXCEPT let the onion sit longer than 15 minutes in the fridge. A good hour is better. Shop for the biggest onion you can find! Fry in a fryer for perfect results.

If I could give this 10 stars I would!!! I didn't make the bloom because I just haven't mastered it yet but I pulled it apart and made the petals. I really couldn't make it fast enough people were eating so fast. I even had a request to make it at our annual deer hunting party. It did require just a little messing around with the dip. My daughter said she tasted a lot of mayo. A little french dressing did the trick.

Both the sauce and the onion are scrumptious. I also soaked the sliced onion in an ice bath for a bit over an hour before continuing and the onion did bloom or flower out perfectly. The only addition I would make to this wonderful recipe is to use a couple of toothpicks through the bottom of the onion to keep it from falling apart. Delicious!
