Description
Onion Ring Chips are a crispy and delicious snack made from sliced onions coated in a flavorful batter and fried to perfection.
Ingredients
- 2 large onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
- 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
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- 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.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.
- Dip each onion ring first into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Return the coated onion ring to the buttermilk, then dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
- Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
- For a healthier version, bake the onion rings at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
