Ingredients
  

For the Onion Rings

  • 1 large white onion

For the Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup cold water

For the Crispy Coating

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

For Frying

  • Oil for deep frying

For the Sauce

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

Instructions
 

  • Peel the onion and slice it into thick rings.
  • Carefully separate the rings and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Gradually add cold water and whisk until you have a smooth, thick batter that can coat the onion rings well.
  • In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, panko, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
  • Dip each onion ring into the batter, letting any excess drip off.
  • Transfer immediately to the breadcrumb mixture and press gently so the coating sticks well.
  • Repeat with all onion rings and place them on a tray.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
  • Fry the onion rings in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towel.
  • Mix mayonnaise and sweet chilli sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with the sweet chilli mayo on the side.
