Steps:
- Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Dip onion rings into the flour mixture until coated; set aside.
- Whisk milk and egg into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat. Place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping.
- Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs and scoop the crumbs over the rings to coat evenly. Give rings a hard tap as you remove them from the crumbs; the coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
- Heat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Place rings side by side in the frying basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Flip rings and place basket in the air fryer. Cook until rings are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip once halfway through. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika.

AIR FRYER ONION RINGS WITH ONION DIP
Onions are probably one of my favorite pantry ingredients: they're inexpensive, full of flavor and have a long shelf life. However, they don't always get to be the star of the show-until now! The air fryer is a great tool for making a gluten-free version of traditional onion rings, here accompanied by an onion dip made with, yes, raw onions. Soaking the onions in buttermilk helps take away some of the bite!

Steps:
- For the onion rings: Separate the onion rings, place in a shallow dish with the buttermilk and soak for 5 minutes.
- Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Set out three shallow bowls for dredging. Whisk the potato flakes, ground chipotle and 1/2 teaspoon salt in one bowl. Whisk the egg, 2 tablespoons water and a little salt together in another bowl. Mix the panko, dried chives if using and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in the third bowl.
- Spray the basket of the air fryer lightly with cooking spray. Drain the buttermilk from the onions; reserve 1/3 cup of the buttermilk for making the raw onion dip.
- Dip each ring one at a time in the potato flake mixture, then in the egg mixture and finally in the panko mixture. Working in batches, put the onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Cook until golden and crisp all over, about 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Transfer the cooked rings to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining rings.
- For the raw onion dip: Stir the red onion, the buttermilk reserved from the onion rings, the sour cream, scallions, garlic powder, salt, pepper and lemon zest together in a large bowl until completely combined. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes for the flavors to blend. Garnish with the dried chives. Serve immediately with the hot onion rings or refrigerate, covered, for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- To make sure your onion rings are crispy, use a thick batter. You can use a store-bought batter or make your own using flour, cornstarch, eggs, and milk.
- Coat the onion rings in the batter and then in breadcrumbs. This will help them get extra crispy.
- Preheat your air fryer to the highest temperature possible before cooking the onion rings. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Cook the onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This will help them cook evenly.
- Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the onion rings cook evenly.
- Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Air fryer BBQ onion rings are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or game days. With the right ingredients and a few simple steps, you can enjoy crispy, flavorful onion rings without the mess and hassle of deep frying. So next time you are looking for a tasty treat, give air fryer BBQ onion rings a try.
