- 3/4 tsp garlic powder

- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/2 cups Panko bread crumbs add more if necessary
- 6 cups vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions: Slice the onions into rings about 1/3 inch thick, separating them carefully. Set aside.
- Set Up Your Breading Station: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. In a second bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until smooth.
- Coat the Onion Rings: Dredge each onion ring in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the ring into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated, then press it into the Panko breadcrumbs, making sure the crumbs adhere well. Repeat with all rings.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep pot or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure the oil is deep enough to submerge the onion rings.
- Fry the Onion Rings: Carefully place the breaded onion rings into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Season with a little extra salt if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
