BUFFALO ONION RINGS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, buffalo sauce, chicken, cheddar, and ranch. Mix with a fork until smooth and evenly mixed.
• Cut each end of the onion, peel of the papery onion skin, and cut the onion on its side into large rings.
• Separate the large slices into its separate layers.
• Put the rings on a parchment paper-lined sheet tray. Take the chicken mixture and press a small amount against the inside of the onion creating a ring shape of the mixture with a hole in the middle.
• Freeze until solid. Usually 3-4 hours.
• Heat a pot of oil to 375°F (190°C).
• Set up a breading station by placing flour, beaten eggs, and panko bread crumbs into separate bowls.
• Working quickly, bread each frozen ring by coating in flour, then dredge in egg and lastly in bread crumbs. Transfer to a baking dish.
• Carefully lower two coated rings into the oil and fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Continue this until all of the rings are fried.
• Serve warm with blue cheese, ranch, or more buffalo sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Fill a large heavy saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of cooking oil and heat over medium-high heat.
• The oil temperature should be at 350 degrees F when you start frying.
• In a large bowl, mix the eggs and milk; then add the flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly with a hand-held mixer.
• Strain the mixture to remove any lumps.
• Add more milk if you want a thinner crust.
• In a small bowl, mix the Cajun spice mix, cayenne pepper, white pepper, black pepper, dry mustard, and salt.
• Add this spice mixture to the batter.
• Cut the onions into thick slabs, dunk them in the batter, and fry them, in batches, in the oil until golden brown.
• Serve the onion rings with Blue Cheese Dip, or dressing.
