Instructions
1
Slice the onions into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
2
In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3
Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, coating evenly. Shake off excess.
4
Dip the floured rings into buttermilk, ensuring full coverage.
5
Coat the buttermilk-dipped rings with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
6
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry rings in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
7
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Chef's Tips
- Onion Prep: Soak onion rings in cold water for 10 minutes before coating to reduce sharpness.
- Extra Crispy: Double-dip in buttermilk and breadcrumbs for an extra crunchy texture.
- Oil Temperature: Use a thermometer to maintain consistent oil temperature for even frying.
- Baking Option: For a healthier version, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Seasoning Variations: Add cayenne or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
- Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in an air fryer to retain crispiness.
