Ingredients

Scale

Onion Rings

  • 2 large onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rings

Breading Mixture

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk

Coating

  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. Heat 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 for even frying.
  2. Prepare Flour Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.
  3. Prepare Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl, ready for dipping the onions.
  4. Coat Onion Rings: Dip each onion ring first into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Then, dredge the onion ring in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
  5. Double Dip: Return the floured onion ring to the buttermilk briefly, then coat it thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
  6. Fry: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  7. Drain: Remove the fried onion rings using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  8. Serve: Serve the onion ring chips warm with your favorite dipping sauce for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
  • For a healthier version, bake the onion rings at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
  • Ensure not to overcrowd the oil during frying to maintain oil temperature and crispiness.
  • Use fresh vegetable oil or clean oil for best taste and safer frying.
