SWEET N SMOKEY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed pot, add enough oil to reach 4 inches up the sides. Preheat to 365 degrees F.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, paprika, onion powder, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, whisking the batter until just combined. In a medium bowl or wide baking dish, add onion rings and dust with flour. Toss gently to uniformly coat rings, and shake off excess flour. Working in batches, dip floured onion rings into the batter, making sure they are thoroughly coated, then carefully add to the preheated oil. Cook until deep golden, flipping halfway through if necessary, about 2 minutes. Remove the onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot. No ketchup needed!

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 370 degrees F.

Set aside 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture for later. To the mixture in the bowl, stir in 1/4 cup of the flour. Set aside.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup flour, the cornstarch, remaining 2 teaspoons onion powder, the salt, baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Add the seltzer and sour cream and whisk until just smooth. Stir in the chives. The batter should be the consistency of thick paint.
• Add the onion rings to the seasoned flour and toss to lightly coat. Working in 2 batches, dredge the floured rings in the batter, letting the excess drip back in the bowl, and add to the oil. Fry, flipping occasionally, until very crisp and deep golden, about 4 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• While still hot, season the onion rings with the reserved sour cream and onion seasoning mixture. Serve immediately, with ketchup.
