Ingredients:

• 1 large yellow onion, peeled & sliced

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs

• 1 large egg + 1/2 cup of water, mixed

• 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!
