How to Make Amazing Crispy Fried Onion Rings
- Heat 3-4 inches (7.5-10cm) of vegetable oil in a 3-quart pot over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature, aiming for 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk (or more, as needed) until you achieve a thin-to-medium pancake batter consistency.
- Thinly slice 2 large yellow onions into rings. Gently toss the onion rings in the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Carefully drop a single onion ring into the hot oil. If it sizzles and starts to brown immediately, the oil is ready. If not, adjust the heat accordingly.
- Working in small batches (to avoid lowering the oil temperature), carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil.
- Fry the onion rings until they turn a deep golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes).
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to gently flip the onion rings and fry the other side until golden brown (another 2-3 minutes).
- Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat steps 5-8 until all onion rings are cooked.
- Season the cooked onion rings with salt to taste (optional).
