Crispiest Onion Rings!
Howdy y'all, and thanks for stopping by the website! I am pleased to inform you that you have stumbled upon the crispiest recipe for onion rings in the whole wide world. The search is over, folks! It's right here.
We appreciate you sharing our recipes with your friends & family!
Slice the Onion
Go out and get yourself a sweet Vidalia yellow onion. If you can't find Vidalia onions any yeller one will do. Start by peeling and slicing the onion just about 5/16" or a little more than 1/4" and separate all the inner rings from the outer rings.

Tip: Put the onion in the freezer for ten to fifteen minutes before you slice and your eyes won't water so bad.
Typically, onion rings are made by dredging the onion ring into the wet ingredients, then the dry, and into the fryer. I've added a couple of steps here that make this extra crispy and extra flavorful.
Start by seasoning the flour. Mix in the Kent Rollins' Original Seasoning, smoked paprika, baking powder, and coarse ground black pepper.
Prep the Batter
Get a bowl for the wet ingredients and add the whole milk, sour cream, and honey. Yep, I'm being serious - the sour cream and honey are going to add thickness to the batter and enhance the flavor in every single bite. Mix until smooth.
We aren't done there, though - get yourself a third bowl and fill it with about half of the panko bread crumbs. Panko bread crumbs are much thicker and will be crispier than regular bread crumbs.
Tip: Reserve half the panko breadcrumbs so you can pour them over the onion ring and not disturb the batter already on the onion.
Use a fork to grab a single onion ring. Dredge in the following order: Wet, Flour, Wet, Flour, Wet, Panko. Instead of mixing the ring around in the bowl of panko crumbs, place the battered onion ring in the bowl of panko and pour more panko over the top. That'll keep the batter from coming off in the panko bowl. Set the onion ring aside and repeat until they're all done and the oil is hot.
Fry the Onion Rings
Preheat the oil to about 375 degrees. I am using Peanut oil because it has a high smoke temperature and I want this oil hot. If you are allergic to peanuts, any other high-temperature oil will do.
Fry until golden brown and extra crispy. Dip in Red River Mud BBQ Sauce or Cowboy Ketchup.
