Ingredients

Scale

Onions

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

Batter

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

Coating and Frying

  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the onions: Slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings and carefully separate the rings to use individually for coating and frying.
  2. Make the seasoned flour mix: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper thoroughly to create a flavorful dry coating mixture.
  3. Soak the onions: Dip each onion ring into the buttermilk to coat evenly, which helps the flour mixture and breadcrumbs adhere better.
  4. Coat the onions: After soaking, dredge the onion rings in the seasoned flour mixture first, then dip them again into the buttermilk, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs ensuring a crunchy outer layer.
  5. Heat the oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C), enough to submerge the onion rings for frying.
  6. Fry the onion rings: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches without overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Drain and serve: Remove the fried onion rings from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunchiness compared to regular breadcrumbs.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for even frying and to prevent greasiness.
  • Drain fried onion rings well on paper towels to reduce excess oil.
  • For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
  • Buttermilk can be substituted with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar if unavailable.
