Ingredients

 

Sauce
¾ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup ketchup
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Onion Rings
2 large sweet onions
2 eggs
1 ½ cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
Oil for frying

Instructions

Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, paprika, Cajun seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
Slice the onions into ½-inch rings and separate them. Discard the small inner rings.
In one bowl, mix flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk and eggs together.
Fill a Dutch oven or heavy pan with 2-2 ½ inches of oil. Heat to 325-350°F.
Dip each onion ring in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mix, letting any excess drip off, and coat again with flour. Place coated rings on a baking rack.
Fry 5-7 onion rings at a time for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
