Crispy Fried Onion Ring Recipe
This homemade onion rings recipe couldn't be simpler.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Tabasco hot sauce
- 2 large Vidalia onions very thinly sliced
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt plus more for sprinkling
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Vegetable oil such as canola oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add buttermilk and Tabasco and mix well. Add the onions and cover completely with the buttermilk.
- In a separate large bowl, add the flour, salt, and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven, add oil to at least the depth of 4 inches. Heat oil over high heat until the oil temperature is 375 degrees F.
- In batches, remove onion slices from the buttermilk mixture and dredge onions in the flour mixture until completely coated, shaking off any excess flour. With a spider or slotted spoon, slowly lower the onions into the hot oil. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown. If the onions are bunching, break them apart with the slotted spoon. Use tongs to remove onions to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and allow to drain.
Notes
Stacy Lyn’s Note: Crispy Fried Onions are the perfect side dish to pile onto burgers, alongside of fried fish, and especially over steaks. On game day, dip them in ranch dressing or garlic aioli as a snack!
