Plunge the onion into boiling water for 1 minute. Remove from boiling water and plunge into Ice water for 3 minutes.
While it's cooling, mix the seasoned flour mixture in a medium size bowl and set aside.
Take it out of the water and gently "drop" it root end facing down, onto a counter top until it "flowers".
Gently place in fryer basket and deep-fry at 375 to 400 1 1/2 minutes. Turn over, and fry an additional 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Place onion upright in shallow bowl and remove center core with circular cutter or apple corer.
Serve hot with Creamy Chili Sauce.
