how to make Onion Ring Chips
Ingredients :
- 2 large onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
- 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
- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions :
- Begin by heating vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to submerge the onion rings completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.
- Dip each onion ring first into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Return the coated onion ring to the buttermilk, then dredge it in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
- Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
how to serve Onion Ring Chips
Onion Ring Chips are best served hot and crispy. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with dipping sauces like ranch dressing, ketchup, or spicy mayo. They also make a great side for burgers or sandwiches.
how to store Onion Ring Chips
If you have any leftover Onion Ring Chips, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To re-crisp them, you can heat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
tips to make Onion Ring Chips
- Make sure your oil is at the right temperature before frying. If it’s too hot, the chips may burn; if it’s too cold, they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
- For extra crunch, you can double-dip the onion rings (once in the buttermilk and flour mixture, and again in the buttermilk and breadcrumbs).
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to customize your flavor.
variation
You can try adding grated cheese to the panko breadcrumbs for cheesy onion ring chips. Another option is to spice them up with a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a bit of heat.
