Ingredients

2 yellow or sweet onions, cut in ½ thick rings
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup fresh Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
Veggie oil

Directions

Pre-heat veggie oil to oil to 350 degrees F.

Place the buttermilk in a shallow bowl and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few cracks of pepper. Place the flour in a bowl with the parsley and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few cracks of pepper, mix to combine. Make sure you separate the onion rings and place a few in the flour, thoroughly coat and shake off the excess flour.

Place rings in the buttermilk and shake off the excess. Return to the flour once more, thoroughly coat and shake off the excess, move rings to a plate or wire rack. Let the rings rest for 5-10 minutes so the crust can set up.

Fry the onion rings until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. As soon as the rings come out of the fryer sprinkle them with a little salt.
