AMAZING CRISPY FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a 3 quart pot, heat about 3-4 inches of vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat.
• Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix in milk with a whisk, adding more milk if needed until mixture is the consistency is like a thin-medium pancake batter.
• Cut onions into thin rings and toss in batter.
• Place a single ring into the oil to test for appropriate heat. Onion ring should sizzle and start to brown immediately.
• Place small batches of onion rings into the oil and when they turn dark golden brown on one side, flip them over to the othe side with a slotted spoon or carving fork.
• Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all onions are done. (Add a bit more milk to the batter if it appears that the last batch isn't getting coated enough.).
• I like to salt the cooked onion rings, but that is optional.

CRISPY FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. Separate onion slices into rings. Dip rings into batter. In a deep-fat fryer, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. In batches, fry onion rings until golden brown, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
• Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
• In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
• Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

ONION STRINGS

Steps:

• Begin by peeling the onions and slicing very thinly, use a mandoline slicer if you can. Separate the onion slices and place them in a shallow baking dish and pour the buttermilk over the top. Press the onions down so they're submerged as much as possible and let them soak on the counter for at least an hour. If necessary, stir them around a bit halfway through the soaking process.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne, and set aside.
• Pour 1 to 2 quarts canola oil in a pot or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees F, or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled over the pot.
• Using tongs, remove a handful of onions from the buttermilk and immediately dunk into the flour mixture. Coat the onions in the flour mixture, and then tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
• Plunge the onions in the hot oil. With a spoon, fiddle with them a bit just to break them up, and watch them! They'll be ready to remove from the oil in no time flat.
• When they're golden brown (this should take just a minute or two), remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Repeat with the remaining onion slices and serve immediately.
• Pile these on top of a juicy grilled hamburger - to die for!

OVEN FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place parchment paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. In another bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and beat until smooth and thickened.
• In a separate bowl, combine the panko, olive oil and remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
• Lightly dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and then drop into the buttermilk. Drain the excess batter and then dredge in the panko mixture.
• Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger rings if necessary, just make sure there is space between them. Then place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 14 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring to ensure even crisping and browning.

WEDGE SALAD WITH HOMEMADE RANCH AND CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Remove any wilted leaves from the outside of the iceberg lettuce. Remove the core and slice the head of lettuce in half from top to bottom. Cut each half into 3 wedges.
• Arrange 6 wedges on a platter. Top each wedge with sliced radishes and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle about 1/2 cup of dressing all over the lettuce and veggies. Top with the blue cheese and chives. Place baked onion rings on top. Serve with extra dressing on the side.
• Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, garlic powder, chives, dill, parsley, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Transfer the dressing to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. Dressing can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Slice the onion into 1-inch-thick rings. Separate the rings and save the small inner rings for another use. Add the large rings to a bowl and cover with the water. Let the onions sit while you prepare the dredging stations.
• Add the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a medium shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Add the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to a second shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Add the egg whites to a third shallow bowl and whisk vigorously until they are frothy and foamy, but not holding peaks.
• Remove each onion ring from the water, shaking off any excess, and place immediately into the flour mixture, making sure to toss until it's fully coated. Next, dip the onion ring into the egg white mixture, flipping to coat thoroughly. Shake off any excess egg white and transfer the onion ring to the panko mixture, gently pressing in the breadcrumbs to adhere. Place the onion ring on the prepared baking sheet and continue the process with the rest of your onion rings.
• Generously spray the onion rings with non-stick cooking spray. Flip the onion rings and generously spray the other side. Bake until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through, about 20 minutes.

CRISPY FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, paprika, seasoning salt and water. Stir until smooth.
• Slice onions 1/8-1/4" inch thick and seperate into rings.
• Drop onions into batter in bowl and stir gently with a spoon. This saves time, over dipping each ring separately into batter. Make sure all onion rings are coated with batter.
• Using a fork, drop one onion ring into fat to test temperature. Your onion ring should not cook too quickly or turn dark. If necessary, reduce temperature. You want your fried onion rings to puff up and turn golden brown, not overcook. If they over cook they will taste bitter.
• When fat is ready, gently drop onion rings into pot or place in fryer basket and lower into fryer.
• When onions rings are golden, using a slotted spoon lift into a metal strainer to drain. If using a fryer, simply lift the basket and allow your onion rings to drain.
