Panko Breaded Onion Rings are a perfectly dip-able appetizer recipe that will wow your friends and family! Serve alongside your favorite ranch dip, secret ingredient fry sauce, or on top of a burger.
Slice onions to about ¼-1/2 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 ½ 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.
