Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium Yellow onions
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper
  • 1.5 cups Cold water
  • 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings, then separate them.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.

Cooking

  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  • Carefully place battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the fried onion rings and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serving

  • Serve the crunchy onion ring chips immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can double dip the onion rings by letting the first batter coat set slightly before dipping again. Ensure your oil temperature remains consistent for best results.
