Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup club soda
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet.
- Separate the onions into rings and put in a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 cup of the flour. Arrange the floured rings on the cooling rack; let stand for 15 minutes.
- Fill a large, wide pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 365 degrees F over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 2 cups flour with the cornstarch, paprika, cayenne, lime zest and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Add the milk, club soda and egg and whisk to combine.
- Working in 3 or 4 batches, add a small amount of the onions to the batter and then immediately place into the hot oil. Fry until crisp and golden, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Allow the oil to come back to temperature between batches.
- Season the onion rings with salt. Serve immediately with your condiment of choice, or transfer to a cooling rack and keep warm in the oven until ready to eat.

Reviews
First chill the onions ,add baking soda with flour 🙂
The batter was delicious but they did turn out soggy. Which was confusing because I followed the recipe to the “T”
These look absolutely delicious and easy to make
Crispy and good flavor! I will definitely make this again but add a extra 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. This makes enough batter for more than 2 onions though.
These were by far the best onion rings I’ve ever had. Entire family of picky eaters loved. I was hesitant about V’s recipes since she’s not a trained chef – but so far everything we’ve made from her recipes knock it out of the park!
The best!!
Thanks
Good flavor but mine didn’t get crispy enough…I even threw in an air fryer to crisp them up…nope!
Came out great!
The recipe is great I was wondering can you freeze the onion rings
