- Begin by slicing your large onion into rings. Aim for an even thickness, about 1/4 inch.
- In one bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In a second bowl, pour the milk or buttermilk.
- In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs combined with shredded cheese.
- Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, then into the milk or buttermilk, and finally into the breadcrumbs and cheese mixture.
- In a large frying pan, heat enough oil over medium-high heat for shallow frying.
- Fry the onion rings in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Notes
Leftover chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze on a baking tray and transfer to a freezer bag once firm. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes.
