Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 12 oz beer or sparkling water
- 4 cups oil
Serve
- Dipping Sauce of choice (Comeback Sauce Recipe)
Instructions
- Prepare a large bowl with cold water and 2 cups of ice. Set aside.
- Trim ends from onions and slice into 1/2-inch rings. Remove the skin and press out the onion rings to separate. Remove the inner membrane from each (See Note 1). Place onion rings in ice bath and make the batter.
- In a bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika and chili powder.
- Heat at least 2-inches of oil in a sauce pan to 350°F. Line a serving plate with paper towels or a wire rack lined tray. Set aside.
- Remove the onion rings from ice bath and pat dry with paper towels. Dip them in the flour mixture to coat and set aside. Start by adding 1 cup (8oz) of beer or sparkling water and mix to form a smooth batter. If too thick, add more beer if desired.
- Working in batches, dip a few onion rings in the batter and shake off excess. Carefully drop into hot oil, cooking 3-4 minutes and flip. Cook another 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Transfer to prepared plate and repeat with remaining onion rings.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (or my Comeback Sauce).

Notes
- If you don't remove the inner membrane, once bitten, the onion often times pulls out of the crispy coating.
