How to Make Crispy Onion Ring Chips

Ingredients

• 2 large Onions (Use sweet onions like Vidalia for a milder taste.)
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Can swap for onion powder or fresh minced garlic.)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (Try smoked paprika for a unique twist.)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (Sea salt or kosher salt works great as alternatives.)
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (White pepper offers a milder flavor if preferred.)
• 1 cup Buttermilk (Regular milk with vinegar or lemon juice can be used instead.)
• 2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs (Regular breadcrumbs can work, but they won’t be as crunchy.)
• 4 cups Vegetable Oil (Canola or peanut oil are good substitutes.)

Directions

1. Prepare the Onions: Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings.
2. Make the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Dip the Onion Rings: Add the buttermilk to the dry mixture, stirring until smooth. Dip each onion ring into the batter, coating it evenly.
4. Coat with Breadcrumbs: After dipping in the batter, place the onion rings into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
6. Fry the Onion Rings: Carefully add the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain and Cool: Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Serve: Enjoy your crispy onion ring chips hot!
