Ingredients

• 2 large onions

• 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!
