Crispy Barbecue Onions

These Crispy Barbecue Onions are the ultimate topping for burgers, hot dogs, or salads. Lightly coated in a smoky barbecue-flavored batter, they’re fried to golden perfection.

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions (yellow or sweet), thinly sliced into rings
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (for coating or dipping)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Soak the Onions:

    • Place the onion rings in a large bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let soak for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.

  2. Prepare the Coating:

    • In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

  3. Heat the Oil:

    • Pour vegetable oil into a large, deep skillet or pot, about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. Coat the Onions:

    • Remove the onion rings from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off.
    • Toss the rings in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off excess flour.

  5. Fry the Onions:

    • Carefully drop a few onion rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
    • Use a slotted spoon to remove the rings and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  6. Add Barbecue Flavor:

    • Once slightly cooled, toss the crispy onion rings in barbecue sauce for a sticky coating, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

  7. Serve:

    • Enjoy immediately as a snack, topping, or side dish!

Tips:

  • For extra crispy onions, double-dip by repeating the buttermilk and flour coating process.
  • Use gluten-free flour to make a gluten-free version.
  • Experiment with different barbecue sauces (sweet, spicy, smoky) for varied flavor profiles.

These Crispy Barbecue Onions are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
