Vidalia or Sweet Onion All-purpose Flour Buttermilk BBQ sauce Vegetable Oil for Frying
1
In a small bowl, stir BBQ sauce and buttermilk until smooth. Add onions. For best results, soak onions overnight or at least 30 minutes.
2
In a pot with a thermometer, heat two inches of oil to 375°F or 190°C.
3
Strain onions from buttermilk BBQ marinade. Toss onions in flour to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4
Add onions directly to hot oil. If necessary, gently break apart with tongs. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute for very thin onions.
Serve on a burger or as a side dish. They are great on top of green bean casserole too!
