Air Fryer Copycat Burger King Onion Rings

Step 1

Cut your large sweet onion into thick slices, about 1/2-inch (1.25 cm) wide then separate the rings and set them aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, place the Panko bread crumbs. In a second bowl, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix them well

Step 3

In the third bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.

Step 4

Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, making sure it's coated evenly.

Step 5

Next, dip the flour-coated onion rings into the beaten eggs.

Step 6

Roll each egg-coated onion slice in the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure the onion rings are fully coated

Step 7

Place the coated onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray them on both sides with cooking spray to help them get a golden-brown and crispy texture.

Step 8

Transfer the onion rings to the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer without overcrowding. Air fry the onion rings at 400 degrees F (200°C) for 6 minutes. Carefully flip the onion rings over using tongs halfway through the cooking process.

Step 9

Keep air frying them for another 6 minutes until the onion rings turn golden brown and crispy. Once they are fully cooked, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil

Step 10

Allow the crispy onion rings to cool for about 5 minutes before serving them with your favorite dipping sauce
