Ingredients

  • 2 large onions
  • 12 slices of bacon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the onions and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Separate the rings and set aside.
  3. Wrap each onion ring with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
  4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Dip each bacon-wrapped onion ring into the buttermilk, and then coat it with the flour mixture, tapping off any excess.
  6. Place the coated onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
  8. While the onion rings are baking, heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  9. Carefully place a few bacon-wrapped onion rings into the hot oil and fry until the bacon is fully cooked and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  10. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  11. Repeat the frying process with the remaining bacon-wrapped onion rings.
  12. Serve the bacon-wrapped onion rings warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
