Ingredients

  • Onion Rings
  • 2 large Yellow Onions peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rings
  • 2 cups Buttermilk
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • Vegetable Oil for frying
  • Signature Dipping Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon prepared Horseradish
  • 1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • Dash of Hot Sauce adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Combine all dipping sauce ingredients, mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika hot sauce in a small bowl. Mix well.
  • Taste. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Set aside. (This can be done in advance. Store in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, until ready to use.)
  • Separate onion slices into rings.
  • Pour buttermilk into a large bowl.
  • Add onion rings and soak for 30 minutes. (This tenderizes the onions and helps the coating stick better.)
  • In a large bowl, add flour, cornmeal, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
  • Remove onion rings from the buttermilk, letting excess drip off and dredge each ring in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coating.
  • Place coated rings on a baking sheet.
  • Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Place over medium high heat and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  • Add onion rings in batches for 2 - 3 minutes and fry on each side or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain. Set aside and keep warm.
