Ingredients
- 1 (5 oz) box Louisiana Fish Fry Products Air Fryer Chicken Seasoned Coating Mix
- 1 large sweet onion
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- cooking spray
For Sauce
- 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp. sriracha, plus more to taste
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Directions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Slice the onion into 1/2” rounds and separate the rings.
- Arrange three shallow bowls on your work surface. In the first bowl, mix 1/4 cup flour, salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg, then whisk in the remaining flour until smooth. In the third bowl, pour the Air Fryer Chicken Seasoned Coating Mix.
- Coat each onion ring in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture. Let any excess egg drip off before pressing the ring firmly into the seasoned coating mix until completely coated. Place the coated onion rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed.
- Spray the onion rings with cooking spray and air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The onion rings should be tender, and the coating should be crispy and golden.
- While the onion rings cook, mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, sriracha, lemon juice, and mustard in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the spiciness with additional sriracha if desired. Serve the crispy onion rings with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
