Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large yellow onions
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large pieces Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well blended.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with chili powder for extra spice.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent frying temperature.

Step 6

Coat each onion ring in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered. Shake off excess flour.

Step 7

Dip the floured onion ring into the egg and buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.

Step 8

Finally, coat the onion ring in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly.

Step 9

Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid crowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the spicy onion rings warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
