Ingredients
- 2 whole large yellow onions
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons barbecue seasoning blend
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate each ring and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and barbecue seasoning blend.
Step 3
Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl. Dip each onion ring into the buttermilk, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 4
Dredge the buttermilk-coated onion ring in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres. Repeat until all onion rings are coated.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). Use a cooking thermometer to ensure consistent temperature.
Step 6
Working in batches, carefully lower the coated onion rings into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy barbecue onions immediately as a side dish or garnish. Enjoy!
