These delicious onion rings are easy to make at home. The breaded coating fries up perfectly crispy while the onion itself stays sweet and tender.

Ingredients

  • 1 largevidalia or other sweet onion
  • 1 quartoil for frying, or as needed
  • 1 ¼ cupsall-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoonbaking powder
  • 1 teaspoonsalt
  • 1 cupmilk, or as needed
  • 1 largeegg
  • ¾ cupdry bread crumbs
  • ⅛ teaspoonseasoned salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Slice onion into 1/4-inch-thick rings. Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Place a wire rack over a sheet of aluminum foil.

  3. 3

    Prepare breading station by setting out 3 wide, shallow dishes. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in the first dish. Whisk milk and egg together in the second dish. Place bread crumbs in the third dish.

  4. 4

    Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, turning several times until fully coated with flour.

  5. 5

    Transfer to the egg mixture and use a fork to turn until coated. Lift onion with the fork and shake gently so excess liquid drips back into the dish.

  6. 6

    Place onion in the bread crumbs and turn several times to coat, scooping crumbs over the ring if necessary.

  7. 7

    Lift again with the fork, tap any excess bread crumbs back into the dish, and place on the wire rack while you prepare the remaining onion rings.

  8. 8

    Deep-fry 3 to 4 onion rings at a time in the preheated oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels while you deep-fry the remaining rings.
