**Aw Onion Rings**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 large sweet onions
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 cups breadcrumbs
– Vegetable oil, for frying
**Instructions:**
1. **Prep Your Onions:**
– Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
2. **Prepare Your Coating Station:**
– In one shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Line these bowls up in order to create a coating station.
3. **Coat the Onion Rings:**
– Take an onion ring and dip it into the seasoned flour, making sure it’s evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
– Next, dip the onion ring into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
– Finally, coat the onion ring in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the ring. Place the coated ring on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining onion rings.
4. **Heat the Oil:**
– In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.
5. **Fry the Onion Rings:**
– Working in batches, carefully lower the coated onion rings into the hot oil using tongs. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
– Remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
– Continue frying the remaining onion rings, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Once all the onion rings are fried and crispy, transfer them to a serving platter.
– Serve the Aw Onion Rings hot and fresh, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy the crunchy exterior and the sweet, tender onion inside!
