Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large yellow onions
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large pieces Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well blended.
In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with chili powder for extra spice.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent frying temperature.
Coat each onion ring in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered. Shake off excess flour.
Dip the floured onion ring into the egg and buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
Finally, coat the onion ring in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly.
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid crowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the spicy onion rings warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
