Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions, sliced into ¼-inch rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Start by heating the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to maintain precise temperature control is crucial as it ensures the onion ring chips become perfectly crispy.
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This combination will add an aromatic and flavorful layer to your onion rings. Ensure this dry mixture is well-combined to evenly coat the onion rings later on.
- Arrange three shallow bowls: one with buttermilk, another with the flour mixture you prepared, and a third with panko breadcrumbs. This assembly line will make coating the onion rings quick and efficient, ensuring each chip is perfectly encased in seasoned breading.
- Begin by dipping each onion ring into the buttermilk, allowing it to be fully covered. Follow this by coating it in the seasoned flour mixture. After the first dredge, dip it back into the buttermilk before pressing it into the panko breadcrumbs to establish a nice, thick crust. Ensure each ring is thoroughly coated to maximize crispiness.
- Carefully lower the breaded onion rings into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them, allowing excess oil to drip off before placing them on paper towels to drain further.
- Once drained, serve the delicious onion ring chips warm with your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy a snack that’s as satisfying in flavor as it is in texture!
Notes
Ensure your onions are fresh and firm, as older onions can become mushy during frying.
