Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large yellow onion
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Step 1: Slice the onion into thin rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Gradually whisk in the milk until a smooth batter forms.
- Step 4: Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dredge the battered onion ring in the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Step 5: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Step 6: Carefully add the breaded onion rings to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, 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 immediately.
Notes
- Store cooled onion ring chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness for a short time.
- For best results, reheat these chips in an air fryer or oven to re-crisp them rather than microwaving.
- Serve these addictive onion ring chips with a cool, creamy dipping sauce like ranch or spicy mayo for a delightful contrast.
- For extra crispy chips, chill the battered onion rings in the fridge for 15 minutes before coating in panko.
