WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE PANKO BREADED ONION RINGS

If you've never made homemade onion rings then you are in for a real treat because they are super easy to make! With easy ingredients you’ll be amazed to see just how basic this recipe is.

Of course we have a secret ingredient for most of our recipes, and this one is no different. Instead of a traditional breading on the onion rings I decided to use Panko Breadcrumbs instead.

They come out of the oil deliciously crunchy and ready to eat! I guarantee it.

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

Vidalia onions, sliced into rings
all-purpose flour
salt
ground black pepper
ground red pepper
garlic powder
dried oregano
eggs, beaten
Panko Style Bread Crumbs
canola oil

HOW TO MAKE THESE EASY HOMEMADE PANKO ONION RINGS

FIRST STEP: Slice onions to about ¼-½ inch thickness. Separate slices and set aside.

SECOND STEP: 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.

THIRD STEP: In the second bowl whisk the eggs together.

FOURTH STEP: In the third bowl place your Panko Bread Crumbs.

FIFTH STEP: Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium low heat, about 350 degrees F when tested with a meat thermometer.

SIXTH STEP: 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 ½ inch pieces. Step 1: dredge your onions in flour, shaking off any excess or clumps that may have formed Step 2: dredge your onions in egg wash Step 3: dredge your onions back in the flour, again shaking off any excess or clumps that may have formed Step 4: dredge your onion back in egg wash Step 5: dredge your onion in Panko Bread Crumbs Step 6: place breaded onions in the hot oil

SEVENTH STEP: Once your onions are placed in the hot oil they will cook and brown very fast, only a few minutes on each side.

EIGHTH STEP: 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.
