A strict vegan probably wouldn't.

Not a chance. Vegans won't eat the onion rings if you use the same oil that the nuggets were fried in earlier that day.

Different people have different levels of what is acceptable to them. You cannot say all of any one group will do something or not do something all the time.
Krister is right about deep fried food in restaurants being awful. All oil becomes very unhealthy when it is heated to high temperatures. Everyone, vegetarian or otherwise, should eat fried foods very sparingly!
Coconut oil and canola oil are the "safest" oils for high temperatures, they say. However, anything that sits all day at frying temperatures has got to be downright evil.
Sadly, I only recently learned that most onion rings are indeed made with milk. Such a shame, too, because I make killer onion rings and there is NO NEED to use milk. God, why do they have to throw animal ooze in everything?

All the onion rings I have ever seen were made with whey, so in and of themselves no vegans can't eat them. The fact they were cooked in the same oil as chicken, is more of an individual basis I would think! I know I wouldn't because the flavor of chicken would also be on the onion at least, if not other crap. But I don't care if my veggie burger is cooked on our home grill where my husband cooks his meat (I just ask it is done prior to his).

No a vegan can't eat the onion rings. Vegans are even more strict than vegetarians. No animal products whatsoever. In fact McDonald in India was sued and lost a court case regarding the oil used to fry onion rings and french fries.

Eating deep-fried food from restaurants is absolutely disgusting either way but deep frying chicken strips and then fries or rings does not get chicken on the other food. Any chicken related substance left in a frier would turn to unrecognizable ash and have no chemical relation to chicken or any other animal product and would sink to the bottom.
Most restaurants keep the same oil heated all day for over a week if not a few weeks. The level of carcinogens that begin to form after just a few hours in hot oil is absolutely shocking.
The VAST majority of onion rings aren't vegan to begin with because they contain dairy or eggs.

I wouldn't. I haven't had meat in 10 years, so I find the idea kind of gross. I wouldn't eat anything cooked with meat. Also I don't think it would be a good idea. Not having eaten chicken in over ten years, it might actually make me sick.
I don't think any true vegans would eat them.
It's a good question though. At dinner parties and stuff, people always wonder why I won't eat the roasted potatoes, that cooked with the meat.

A vegan CAN eat whatever they wish.
They CHOOSE to not fund animal torture.
How would my purchasing the onion rings fund an industry using animals?
For those vegans with common sense, it isn't about what you put in your mouth; it's about where your money goes.

It depend his level of wisdom and dynamic of veganism.
Level 1 : Physically does not want or involve slain or killing of any beings. He may go the ordinary food stall and ask the cook to prepare "vegan style" meal for him. More practical for beginners.
Level 2 : Emotionally, directly or indirectly, will not support slain or killing of any beings. He may not longer going to ordinary restaurants, but will support going to only Vegan/vegetarian restaurants. He will stop captivating, imprisoning animals into cages / tanks, leather or fur.
Level 3 : Mind (Intellectual) stage; An activist; Wisdom seeker; Philosopher; A "real" environmentalist; Condemn violence to any beings in any nature; Peace lover.
And your question is...that person is still in Level 1, and he is not wrong being there.

No. A vegan (or at least this vegan) won't eat any food touched by or prepared with meat, even if the actual flesh is not consumed.

Some will, some won't. My sister (a staunch vegitarian) would eat the rings. My best friend (another staunch veggie) would not. My friend actually used to ask at restaurants if the fries were cooked in their own grease. It seems to be a personal preference thing.
