Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pcs Large sweet onion
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.25 cups Club soda (cold)
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the onions and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices. Separate the slices into individual rings and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk well to incorporate the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually pour in the cold club soda while whisking the batter mixture until smooth. The batter should be thick yet pourable. Adjust with a little more club soda or flour, if needed.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish or plate for coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil remains at the correct temperature while frying.
Dip each onion ring into the batter, letting any excess drip off. Then, coat the ring evenly in the panko breadcrumbs.
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings, ensuring the oil temperature stays consistent.
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
