I have found just cutting the top off first, then peel the dried layers off with your fingers is easier. No need to cut into it at all.

[@pcm7315]

Agree, peeling best method without damaging rings.

[@randomher089]

I honestly thought that was the way everyone did it. Been doing it myself for as long as I can remember.

[@xxxynelly5241]

really appreciated this as a 14 y/o learning to cook by myself

[@louise2416]

Yes!!! You probably heard me screaming this all the way from Ireland 😂😂

[@retrodog63]

Always start by cutting the onion right in the middle. That will allow the layers to slide out without being compressed by a tighter diameter compressing it to the breaking point

[@davidwittrock690]

You don't need to do the long cut to skin then. Just slice. The skins come right off.

[@nadinecoco]

We can cook onion rings in airfryer!? Omg. Thank you so much!

[@cookingwithcoit]

I hope they turn out great for you!

[@Thevenver]

I love how you explain everything simply but also in detail

[@salsabilaainunnisa4079]

Just cooked it, turned out so good! 😍 Thank you so much for the recipe!

[@DickvanderVelde]

I usually remove the thin membrane between the layers. This helps to avoid tugging out all the onion out of the crust when you bite into it.

[@tonis2922]

When I went to America and tried those American panko i was high sad at the consistency and lack of flavor. if you ever get a chance to see Japanese Panko, please try it! the flakes are bigger, airy and fluffy adding an amazing crunch.

[@rickhodgkins6937]

Love this recipe! Again remember that you don't want to use aerosol sprays on your basket and/or any food going into it, because the nonstick coating will break down and flake off. I'm so glad that you're using panko bread crumbs in your 3-step battering and breading process.

[@coreturkoane5570]

So what can you use then...can we use olive 🫒 oil?

[@MysteriousBeingOfLight]

High smoking point oil only, so peanut or grapeseed@@coreturkoane5570

air frying them rn, i'l edit comment and tell you how they turned out... Edit: I made them... They were delicius! I was cutting them into small pices, so, that is maybe why they were a little bit over baked, but the taste was amazing. Thank you Coit for this great recipe.

[@cookingwithcoit]

Nice! Hoping they turn out great!

[@kelvenguard]

I’ve made square bit onion rings years ago..... about 1/2inch by 1inch.... when my daughter was little she liked them better than the rings.... so next time try that with all your broken pieces :)

After dredging can you freeze them to cook later?

They look really good. I will make them for my hubby. Tonight for our tea I did a fry up, it turned out really good and the best bit there was no cooker to clean

[@Kauffman578]

[@mariad4337]

@Cooking with Coit why is the egg diluted with buttermilk? None of my coating stuck?

[@Heavenly_GamingYT]

Is it still good if you only use egg and breadcrumbs for onion rings?

[@anitaalfie]

Hi I’d really like to try this but I can’t get buttermilk here in Cyprus, can I use milk insread ? I love all your recipes. 😊😊

[@Phlimbob]

You can make a buttermilk substitute by adding a bit of vinegar to regular milk. I think it is like 2 tbs per cup, but you can search for other ratios.

[@bcbridges9444]

Would it be better to add the seasoning to the bread crumbs and not the flour?

[@lynnnylye6932]

Will the onion rings fly in the fryer? I have a Philips airfryer which I have bn using for 8 years but when i put in light things like a piece of bread, it flies to the top and get burn.

[@acitizen.5276]

Wows...Well done, who'd never ever thought of peeling an onion before this video ? Well done champ !! FFS, seriously ??

[@Just_Mike27]

The broken ones still taste the same lol

[@stardel]

Going to try now brb with my Results....

[@sapat664]

Those look amazing. Must make them asap. Questions - I don't buy buttermilk because I'd have to throw the leftovers down the drain. I have a bag of powdered buttermilk. Could I reconstitute and use that? Hubby only likes his rings made with cornmeal. Could I mix some cornmeal into the panko, or would that make them gritty and gummy?

[@cookingwithcoit]

Hi- yes I believe powdered buttermilk should work just fine. Regarding cornmeal- I haven’t used it to bread food in an air fryer but I say give it a try. I bet it would act just as breadcrumbs would. Good luck!

[@sapat664]

@@cookingwithcoit thanks will do

[@mariad4337]

Next time I am attempting with just the egg.....I am not sure the purpose of the milk in this particular recipe because none of my coating stuck!

Regarding the flour - if it's not an objective to get the flour to stick to the onion then wouldn't it be better to add the other seasonings to the bread crumbs instead?

[@basga63]

My thought too lol

[@judichristopher4604]

The Flour is to take the moisture out... then the others can stick to the Onion ring.

[@diegoaguirre4018]

Can you substitute butter milk with something else (regular milk?)

[@glenngolin2018]

It’s nice that you include the problems cutting onions I have had the same problem for many years scoring the precious outer ring. . One day I cut the onions and wanted to wash away a bit of the boldness as I was using cooking onions ; I threw them in a water bath . After I finished making the batter, etc I took the onions out and surprised that they popped out and the onion skins came off effortlessly. Hmmm? Watching your techniques I thought to myself why score the onion why not take the whole onion and cut off each end, save them for stock. Then cut the onion into rings leaving all the skin on. Put into a zip lock and make them later as I always use onions. That worked well the skin was soft and came off easily. But that middle , So I redid and popped the centre out that I use for everything and put the rings into a ziplock back for tomorrow. Well, the onion relaxed ( did it dry a little or did it relax) onions are under pressure to be good. Haha. Removing the centre the rings separate . Wow. Secondly, going into the air fryer the delicate rings and crumbs falling off. Yep , I’m a newcomer to air fried. I thought air chilled; freezer. Followed your instructions but then I put them into the icebox for a day ( I did eat some while I was having fun). Frozen I took them out and why use spray oil I brushed them with avocado oil. Really happy how they turned out. Thanks to your video and all the steps , effort and love for onion rings I believe I will never deep fry an onion ring again.

Avocado oil is better for high-temperature cooking, olive oil can not sustain high heat it will go bad. Everyone must check out different cooking oil best use temperatures. All veggie oil already turn bad when they are out.

[@mariad4337]

My first try was a disaster...been cooking for50+ years...Nothing worked. The breading did not stick at all. Also,I am wondering why we are putting spices in the flour when you say that the flour is not really meant to stick. Spices are expensive these days. It seemed that everything was very dry, I did the 10 minutes, so back to square one! I think I am going to try to moisten the rings with water, dip in the flour, and proceed from there. From all of the cooking I have done the dredging and having the flour first was there to make the coating stick. Any help would be appreciated.

[@cookingwithcoit]

Hi Maria- the egg and butter milk should coat the onion rings no problem. Even without flour. Did you follow the instructions or did you change some things? Thanks

Your pushing them out the wrong side, instead of ruining the onion by guess cutting , poke your knife under that first skin and push the knife in sideways all the way through and then voila rip that outer layer

[@mikemoore71]

For the dip try this if you’re not familiar with it. Mix mayonnaise with the ketchup, you can play with the ratios, if you like that you can experiment with other seasonings added This is big in Utah, very few use straight ketchup. Everyone calls it fry sauce.
