Restaurant Style Onion Rings


I made these along with the Buffalo Wings for the Super Bowl, this meal tasted EXACTLY like a restaurant meal, it was great. Although, it also was by far the unhealthiest meal I have ever made!!

1 large onion, cut into 1/4 inch slices

1 and 1/4 cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 egg

1 cup milk, or as needed

3/4 cup dry bread crumbs

seasoned salt to taste

oil for frying


1. Heat the oil to 365 degrees.

2. Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated, set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.

4. Fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt and serve.


Note: You do not need a deep fryer to make these or the Buffalo Wings, I used an electric skillet, and I'm sure a deep frying pan would work as well.
