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.

tips to make Onion Ring Chips
- Use thick slices of onion for a meatier texture.
