Tips:

  • Choose large, firm Vidalia onions for the best results.

  • Soak the onion rings in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours. This will help to tenderize the onions and make them more flavorful.
  • Use a light hand when coating the onion rings in flour. Too much flour will make the batter heavy and dense.

  • Drain the onion rings on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
