Total time

15 Min

Ingredients

• 1 medium size onion
• 3-4 cups buttermilk
• 2 tbsp hot sauce
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp chipotle chili powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 2-3 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• salt to taste

Instructions

1. Start by slicing the onion from the root down, then turn it and slice off the top. Gently peel away the outer layer and the inner membrane.
2. Cut the onion in half and separate it into rings. Drop them into a bowl and pour over enough buttermilk to fully submerge.
3. Add a splash of hot sauce, then season the mixture with half of your garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chipotle chili powder. Gently mix everything together, making sure the onions are coated without breaking any rings. Let them soak for at least 15 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour with cornstarch — about one-third of the total should be cornstarch for that extra crunch. Season this dry mix with the second half of your seasoning blend: garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chipotle chili powder.
5. Lift your onion rings from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Toss them straight into the flour mixture, coating it well, then dip it back into the buttermilk once more. For the final layer, roll the rings gently in Panko breadcrumbs. Once again its wet dry, wet dry.
6. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully lower the onion rings into the hot oil, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Let them fry for about 4 minutes until golden brown.
7. As soon as they come out, hit them with a sprinkle of flaky salt and enjoy!
