Ingredients
Scale
Onion Rings
- 2 large onions sliced into 1/4-inch rings
Breading
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Dipping and Coating
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Frying
- Vegetable oil for frying
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 for even 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 to evenly season the coating.
- Pour the Buttermilk: In a separate bowl, pour in the buttermilk. This will be used for dipping the onion rings to help the coating stick.
- Coat the Onion Rings—First Dip: Dip each onion ring into the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Then dredge the ring in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour to prevent clumps.
- Coat the Onion Rings—Second Dip and Breadcrumbs: Return each floured onion ring to the buttermilk for a second dip, then coat it with panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the rings to ensure they adhere well and create a crispy texture.
- Fry the Onion Rings: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the rings turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, keeping them crisp and light.
- Serve Warm: Serve the onion ring chips immediately warm with your favorite dipping sauce for maximum flavor and crunch.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double dredge the onion rings by repeating the buttermilk and breadcrumb steps.
- Ensure the oil temperature remains steady at 350°F to avoid greasy onion rings.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pot to maintain oil temperature and even cooking.
- You can substitute buttermilk with a mix of milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar as a homemade buttermilk alternative.
