Pro tip: use corn starch when powdering your onion in the first step. The provides better adhesion of the egg wash and therefore better adhesion of the crumbs.

So glad I found this channel!! Enjoy cooking again. Thank you for sharing your recipes and making it fun to watch.

[@anthonyrivet1287]

Very simple, thank you for the recipe!

[@Holmer188]

I can’t wait to make this. Looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

[@0077alfie]

Use a BIG jar lid and put the base of the onion in it. the knife will not cut the root. Much faster in cutting the onion

[@bellenesatan]

I use one of those steel apple slicer/corer gadgets that you press down

[@servo24601]

This was VERY GOOD!! Outback's version is SOOOOO Greasy!!!! It made the next day a trial! This one was terrific and much lighter!! My wife loved it!!! And the sauce is going to be my "go to" "Thousand Island" copy recipe- to me it tastes almost like it but much better! Every recipe I have tried from Coit have been terrific!

[@veliaamparorivas3399]

Thank you, I’ll try it his weekend.

[@normanshadow1]

That looks so delish ❤. I'll do onion rings with that recipe

[@Zee_1003]

it's easier if you use a sieve to sprinkle the flour over your onion and the egg int9 a squirt bottle for an even distribution.

[@MSDIVADOLL2000]

Going to try this recipe 😮

[@johnminor8304]

Thanks- gonna try it !

Sticking up end - stem. Hairy end - root. Great recipe don’t like spicy so just added a pinch of cayenne ❤

[@jasonaldridge625]

I learned a lot from watching this video one thing I might have changed or added is when you coat the onion place it on a wire rack above the tray

[@Marginal391]

Probably the best blooming onion recipe out there 😊✔️ But wouldn't it be a good idea to mix the eggs and flour in the beginning? That could make the covering of the onion easier. Best regards 😊✔️

[@sridhard6660]

Looks fantastic. Whats the alternative for egg ?

[@BlessOnBlessings]

Work smarter not harder, but why not just dip the onion into the bowl with the egg wash, same for the breadcrumbs. Seems like you’re taking longer steps by trynna drizzle it on each onion petal.

[@jeffreyhuntley4323]

Exactly amateurs

[@SpiteBellow]

I was yelling at my screen again JUST DUNK IT

[@sandraseldon6734]

Totally agree. Dip it!

[@judichristopher4604]

I can not tell you how nice it is to SEE 1 CUP or 1 Teaspoon or 1 Tablespoon.... USA is GREAT... Thank YOU so much for this Great Video

[@SilverheartTR]

You can put the onion in the egg wash, which will help to cover it fully with the egg wash.

[@samanthafinnerty3315]

just curious what size air fryer you use

[@ninahedgecoth9119]

Your air fryer onion is #1 !!!! I tried 2 others and they were alot more work and came out crappy !!!

[@TRUECRIMESPTV]

It's much easier to put the onion in the mixtures in bowls.

[@tomasaldente2622]

will one of those apple core cutters work for this?

[@berngirl5624]

I can't wait to make this. The time on this though seem long. When I make frozen chicken wings they take 25 minutes.

[@Dewabarasunderan]

The fact that he felt the need to spice up the onion with onion powder 😂

[@davidward3991]

You can cut the root and just let it fall apart and it will cook in my air fryer. I have 3 different sizes. And the oven is an air fryer. So I can do a big portion.

[@Greenlemonfish]

Did he say virgin at 1:13. Lol, thats so funny. Never needed a virgin as an ingedient for a dish before. I have to try this, but my local supermaket is out of fresh virgins. Try saying version 10 times in a row, I guess. Great video btw.

[@vampiric4real]

Most Australians have never had a Bloomin Onion

[@mungkuavik2177]

Nice

[@dannymcneal]

Did you spray the blooming onion before air frying? Because mine didn’t turn out ANYthing like yours. Hmmm…..

[@berngirl5624]

I looked at some other recipes and yes they spray it. It could have been missed in the editing of this one. I don't think you get the nice browning without spraying it.

[@GeorgeAlexa]

I think he should have a disclaimer added to this video. I'm glad I saw your comment! @@berngirl5624

[@carolrocks]

Please advise what kind of onion you uses.

[@berngirl5624]

Not sure what kind he used, but I think a Vidalia or Walla Walla would be better over a stronger onion.

[@PoppySeed47]

Would brushing the egg on not be easier?

[@btsarmyforever3816]

Tip: Use an apple cutter gadget and you don't need to use the knife to make the blooming onion shape. But yeah have to very carefully lift the gadget else the petals will fall off.

[@josephdyal2799]

I couldn’t get the egg to stick and it ended up as a spiky death ball with black tips 😂

[@okay9906]

*...that's Onion Pakoda @ Pakora. From the Tamil word Pakku + Vadai = Pakkuvadai deformed to Pakkoda @ Pakora. Plaques of Vadai @ Vada. The English word Plaque is derived from the Tamil word Pakku.* *Nota bene: ...this version of onion Pakoda @ Pakora is called 'blooming onion' in the US.* 👍👍

[@ring9684]

😋

[@patcronin1961]

Drop the onion root side down on a suitably sized cookie cutter and use the cookie cutter as a knife stop. It’s way quicker and easier.

[@mathsinger]

I might do this. I don't deep fry. Too messy. Then there's what to do with the oil.

[@ChevalNektosha]

Replace regular flour with besan flour

[@GeorgeAlexa]

I had to Google Besan Flour and glad I saw your comment. Thanking you from Escanaba, Michigan!

[@sherrybonnett4827]

Channa flour (chickpea) could work too.

[@timothybaker8234]

The stem is the top, the root is the bottom.

[@Narkamu-il4tf]

I cooked this today and the sauce was good however, the onion came out a little tough and its a bit different compared to the original restaurant flavor that we all know and love. I followed your recipe to the T and used a medium/large onion like you did. Their is some error to this recipe and lack of skill. The onion needs to be steamed a bit if you want the right texture. My recommendation is to wrap it with aluminon foil and than take the foil off to brown it in an air fryer. There is also better ways to cover the onion with flour, eggs, and panko crumbs. I did however love the style of your video but I give your recipe a 4 out of 10.

[@cjb3992]

Notice he won’t let you hear the crunch without disguising his failure with bad music. Flag on the play

[@marcjtdc]

why do this? you only have to walk 9.5 hours to burn off one blooming onion from outback

[@cookingwithcoit]

Haha true!

[@williamgates4399]

Why not just sit the whole onion into a bowl with the egg mix to let it settle for a few minutes? Then gently rub the egg onto the onion?

[@lateonaname]

Mmmkay… I’m sure it’s tasty but this looks like a first time go around at a recipe… there were several things straight away that would’ve made the effort easier… simply sifting the flour over it and then holding the onion together and dipping it into the bowl with whipped eggs … I don’t see how it had to get so funky 🙄

[@berngirl5624]

100% he made it more difficult than it needed to be.

[@andreamejia9245]

They remind me of fried chicken and fried octopus. Can't wait to try them

[@iTankSometimes]

You need to sharpen those knives, other than that, great vid

[@gayledavis1407]

Way, Way too much salt. Get a bigger bowl and put the onion into the bowl with the egg mixture. Recommend you keep cooking while you are talking. You tend to stop cooking when you are talking. Great recipe.

[@broderp]

So here's the problem I see with all these types of recipes. What do you do with all the extra ingreduients mixed up and left on the prep sheet? All these things you're going to waste, its like throwing money down the drain.
