Instructions

Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or large pot.
Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Dip onion rings in buttermilk, coat with flour mixture, dip again in buttermilk, then dredge in panko breadcrumbs.
Fry onion rings in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with dipping sauce.

Bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes as a healthier alternative, though less crispy.
