Ultimate Crispy Onion Rings: A Deep-Fried Delight

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep pan to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Dip each onion ring into the buttermilk, then dredge it in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
4. Dip the coated onion ring back into the buttermilk and then into the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the onion to ensure they stick.
5. Place the coated onion rings on a baking sheet while you finish coating the remaining rings.
6. Carefully place the coated rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per side).
7. Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
