Panko Fried Onion Rings is one of my favorite appetizers, and this recipe makes it something you can do right at home! Simple ingredients, easy prep, and you can't beat this crunch!
Panko Fried Onion Rings
Mmmmmmmhmmmmmm. Onion rings. I didn't know I liked these until I was in my late 20's. I spent twenty-some years of my life being a full-on onion hater.
Now, I am a full-on onion LOVER, and these Panko Fried Onion Rings top my list. I love onion rings of all varieties. Especially a good beer batter. We do a legit recipe for Baked Onion Rings, too.
Sometimes, though, there is no substitute for a good old-fashioned crispy fried appetizer. This was one of those times. Another time was when I made this Breaded Cauliflower. OH YUM. Oh, and these Pan-Fried Potato Wedges. All the yes.
Try these on your next burger night. Your family will thank you!

Recipe FAQ
This dish is best made right before serving. If you do make extra, freeze them before frying on a parchment-lined baking tray and then put them in a freezer baggie. If you have leftovers that are already fried, reheat in the air fryer to keep the crunch!
I am partial to our Bacon Ranch Dip. A good spicy aioli like our Togarashi Aioli is another great option! Homemade Sweet Chili Sauce is great too!
These Oven Fried Onion Rings are coated in crushed-up potato chips and are “oven-fried” for the best results. Try our Blackstone Frozen French Fries, Traeger Smoked Sweet Potatoes, Traeger Roasted Fingerling Potatoes, Traeger Smoked Twice Baked Potatoes, or these Traeger Mini Hasselback Potatoes.

Instructions

- Preheat about 1.5 inches of oil over medium heat. While the oil is preheating, start breading your onion rings. Do this by coating in flour, then the egg wash, then back in the flour, back in the egg wash, and finally in the panko. Set on a tray in a single layer, and continue breading until they are all evenly coated.
- Fry a few rings at a time until golden brown. It should take about 1.5 - 2 minutes of frying. More or less, and adjust your oil heat accordingly.
