1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
Oil for frying
Let's get cookin'!
Step 1: Peel and slice your onion into rings.
Step 2: Start heating up your oil in a large deep pot that can hold about 4-6 cups of frying oil. I used vegetable oil.
Step 3: Coat your onion rings with flour and set to the side.
Step 4: Whisk together your egg and water to form a wash.
Step 5: Dip each onion ring into the egg wash one at a time and making sure they are fully coated. Set them to the side on a plate until you’ve finished filling all the onions rings.
Step 6: In the leftover flour add your breadcrumbs and seasonings. Mix very well.
Step 7: Add your onion rings back into the dry mix and coat them all very well using a scooping motion with your hands to coat them.
Step 8: When all are done and coated, check your oil to make sure it is hot enough. It should be at 365f in order to fry them without burning them.
Step 9: Add in a few rings at a time and fry for 5-6 minutes or until your desired golden brown color has been achieved.
Step 10: Once done set them on a paper towel lined plate to drain of excess grease. Repeat until all onion rings have been fried.
Step 11: Serve and enjoy!
