Ingredients
Scale
Onion Rings
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
- Prepare Flour Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Buttermilk Dip: Pour the buttermilk into another bowl, which will be used for dipping the onion rings.
- Coat Onion Rings: Dip each onion ring first into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then coat it in the flour and spice mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
- Breadcrumbs Dredge: Return the floured onion ring back into the buttermilk briefly, then dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure breadcrumbs adhere well and create a thick, crispy crust.
- Fry Onion Rings: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the onion rings using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the crispy onion ring chips warm with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious snack or side.
Notes
- Ensure oil temperature stays steady at 350°F for perfectly crispy onion rings without absorbing excess oil.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pot as this lowers the oil temperature and results in soggy rings.
- You can make the coating process easier by setting up a dredging station with bowls for buttermilk, flour mixture, and panko breadcrumbs.
- To keep onion rings warm before serving, place them on a wire rack in a low oven (around 200°F) without stacking.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour and panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
