• Place panko bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
• Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a few onion rings at a time into the bowl of batter and turn to coat all sides with batter.
• Remove onion rings from batter and place into pan of panko bread crumbs; turn to coat completely with crumbs.
• Cook a few rings at a time in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer to a cooling rack set over paper towels to drain. Season with salt to taste and serve.

OLD FASHIONED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• 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. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
• Deep 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.

BEER-BATTERED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the flour with the paprika, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Whisk in the beer until the mixture is well combined. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 inches oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Trim the stems from the onions then peel. Slice the onions horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick rings and toss them with the remaining 1/2 cup flour in another large bowl.
• Working in batches, dip the onion rings into the batter, shaking off any excess (see Cook's Note), then immediately lower them into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook, flipping once, until evenly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove the onions with a mesh spider or slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately season them with salt. Coat and fry the remaining onion rings, returning the oil to 375 degrees F between batches. Serve right away with spicy ketchup.

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.

KITTENCAL'S BEST CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil to about 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk and eggs.

• Dip/coat the onion rings into the buttermilk mixture.
• Then coat generously into the dry coating mixture.

• Delicious!

CRISPY OVEN BAKED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and spray it slightly with oil and set aside.
• Place potato chips and panko bread crumbs in the bowl of a food processor and process into crumbs, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a shallow bowl, add cayenne, and set aside.
• In another bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper and set aside.
• Slice onions into 1/2-inch circles and separate into rings, keeping only large, whole rings (reserve rest of onions for other uses). You should come out with about 12 to 14 rings.
• Place the remaining flour in a sealable plastic bag, then add onions, and shake to coat.
• Dip onions 1 at a time into the buttermilk mixture, then dip into potato chip mixture and place on baking sheet. NOTE: For those having problems with the coating not sticking, the secret is LET THEM REST! Don't just throw them in the oven from the coating! Give them at least 5-10 minutes to soak in all that good coating you just put on and they'll stick just fine.
• Spray canola oil evenly over rings and bake for 20 minutes, or until coating is crisp. Season with salt, to taste, and serve immediately.
