Ingredients
Onions
- 2 large onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
Batter and Coating
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Frying
- Vegetable oil for frying (enough to fully submerge the rings)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Begin by heating vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the onion rings during frying.
- Prepare the flour mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Pour the buttermilk: In another bowl, pour the buttermilk for dipping the onion rings.
- Coat the onion rings: Dip each onion ring first into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Then coat it in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
- Breadcrumb coating: Dip the floured onion ring back into the buttermilk briefly, then dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure a good coating that will crisp up when fried.
- Fry the onion rings: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm: Serve the crispy onion ring chips warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a perfect snack or side.
Notes
- Make sure your oil is at the correct temperature (350°F or 175°C) to ensure crispy onion rings without excess oil absorption.
- Do not overcrowd the fryer or pot to keep the oil temperature consistent and the coating crisp.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch compared to regular breadcrumbs.
- Allow onion rings to drain well on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
