Ingredients
Scale
Onions
- 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
Others
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 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). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the onion rings completely.
- Prepare Flour Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Buttermilk Dip: Pour the buttermilk into another bowl 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 thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.
- Double Dip and Bread: Return the coated onion ring back into the buttermilk, then dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere firmly.
- Fry the Onion Rings: Carefully place the prepared onion rings into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve Warm: Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for a crispy and flavorful snack.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double-dip the onion rings in buttermilk and breadcrumbs as stated.
- Maintaining oil temperature is crucial; too low will make greasy onion rings, too high may burn the coating.
- Use fresh onions and slice evenly for uniform frying.
- Serve immediately for best texture, as they can lose crispness if left to sit.
