Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large yellow or sweet onions
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 6 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings, discarding the small inner ones or saving them for another use.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk until well combined.

Step 4

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for coating.

Step 5

Set up a battering station: the flour mixture, the egg mixture, and the breadcrumbs placed in line for easy assembly.

Step 6

Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs. Place coated onion rings on a plate or tray.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the correct temperature.

Step 8

Carefully place a few onion rings at a time into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping once halfway through cooking.

Step 9

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried onion rings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining onion rings, ensuring the oil stays at a consistent temperature.

Step 11

Serve the crispy onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or ketchup.
