Panko Breaded Onion Rings Recipes

PANKO BREADED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Slice onions to about 1/4-1/2 inch thickness. Separate slices and set aside.
• Set up your breading station with 3 bowls. In the first bowl combine your flour, salt, ground black pepper, ground red pepper, garlic powder and dried oregano.
• In the second bowl whisk the eggs together.
• In the third bowl place your Panko Bread Crumbs.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium low heat, about 350 degrees F when tested with a meat thermometer.
• The dredging of the onions is a "double-dip" process. This allows the breading to be a bit thicker and tastier, especially if you've cut your onions into larger 1/2 inch pieces.Step 1: dredge your onions in flour, shaking off any excess or clumps that may have formedStep 2: dredge your onions in egg washStep 3: dredge your onions back in the flour, again shaking off any excess or clumps that may have formedStep 4: dredge your onion back in egg washStep 5: dredge your onion in Panko Bread CrumbsStep 6: place breaded onions in the hot oil
• Once your onions are placed in the hot oil they will cook and brown very fast, only a few minutes on each side.
• Take each onion ring out of the oil when the Panko Bread Crumbs turn a nice light brown color. Place on a plate covered with a napkin or paper towel to soak up excess oil from frying.

UNCLE BILL'S DEEP FRIED ONION RINGS IN BATTER AND PANKO CRUMBS

Steps:

• In a deep 8 inch saucepan or a small deep fryer, add the oil and heat to 365°F.
• Slice onions into 1/4 inch thick slices (across the onion) and separate into individual rings; set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and seasoning salt.
• Dredge all the onion rings in the flour mixture until well coated; set aside.
• In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk and add to the remaining flour mixture that was used for dredging the onion rings. Whisk, until a creamy batter is formed; not too thick. If too thick, add some milk to thin.
• Place a wire rack on a sheet of aluminum foil to catch drippings.
• Dip the flour coated onion rings in the batter to coat well.
• Using a fork, remove and place the coated onion rings on the wire rack and let the excess batter drip off, about 1 minute.
• In another mixing bowl, add the Panko bread crumbs.
• Roll the onion rings in the bread crumbs until thoroughly coated and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Deep fry the onion rings in batches of 4 to 6 for 1 minute, turn over and continue to deep fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute or until golden in color. Do not overcook.
• Remove to paper towels to drain and season with seasoning salt.
• When serving, spinkle with Malt vinegar and some ketchup on the side for dipping.
• You can use regular or seasoned bread crumbs if Panko is not available.

OVEN-BAKED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Separate onion slices into individual rings.
• Whisk egg whites with milk in a bowl until thoroughly combined; season egg mixture with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Place panko crumbs into a separate bowl.
• Place onion rings into a large resealable plastic bag. Add flour, salt, and black pepper; seal bag and shake until rings are well coated with flour.
• Drop flour-coated onion rings into egg white-milk mixture, a few at a time, and toss lightly with tongs until coated. Place rings into panko crumbs and gently shake the bowl to toss the crumbs with the onion rings until rings are coated with crumbs.
• Transfer coated onion rings to a large baking sheet; spray rings lightly with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until onion rings are tender and crumbs are lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

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.
