Crispy, golden onion ring chips made by double-dipping onion slices in a seasoned flour and buttermilk mixture, then coating with crunchy panko breadcrumbs before frying to perfection. These homemade onion rings are perfect as a snack or side dish to enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Onion Rings

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

Batter and Coating

  • 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

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. 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 completely submerge the onion rings for even frying.
  2. Prepare the Flour Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
  3. Set up the Dipping Stations: Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl, creating two separate bowls for dipping: one with the seasoned flour mixture, and the other with the buttermilk.
  4. Coat the Onion Rings: Dip each onion ring first into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then coat the ring in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour. Return the onion ring to the buttermilk, and then dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
  5. Fry Until Golden: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding which can lower oil temperature and cause sogginess. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve the crispy onion ring chips warm with your favorite dipping sauce such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil temperature is steady at 350°F to achieve perfectly crispy onion rings without absorbing too much oil.
  • For extra crunch, double dredge the onion rings by repeating the buttermilk and breadcrumb step.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter, crispier texture compared to regular breadcrumbs.
  • Drain onion rings well on paper towels to keep them crisp and less greasy.
  • If you want to keep cooked onion rings warm, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven for up to 15 minutes before serving.
