Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to season after frying
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce optional
  • 4 cups canola oil for frying

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Peel onions and slice into thin rings about 0.125-inch thick. Separate the rings and pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk with hot sauce (if using).
  • Dredge onion rings in the dry mix, shaking off excess. Dip into buttermilk, let excess drip, then return to the dry mix and coat thoroughly. Place on a wire rack while you heat the oil.
  • Pour oil into a deep pot to at least 2 inches depth and heat to 350°F over medium heat.
  • Fry onion ring chips in batches without crowding, 2 to 3 minutes, turning as needed, until deeply golden and crisp.
  • Transfer to a paper towel–lined rack and immediately sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dip or alongside burgers and sandwiches.

Notes

For extra crunch, slice onions as thin as possible and keep coated rings on a rack for a few minutes before frying. To keep batches crisp, hold in a 250°F oven while you finish frying.
