2 medium yellow onions, sliced into rings

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 large egg

1/4 cup buttermilk

dash of hot sauce

2 cups panko bread crumbs

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup barbecue sauce

Place a rack in the center and upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, paprika, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder.  Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, and hot sauce.

In a separate bowl, place bread crumbs.

Slice onion into rings, and separate into separate rings.

Using one hand, and leaving one hand clean, dip onion rings into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then coat in panko crumbs.  Place in a single layer across the prepared baking sheets.  Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven, carefully flip the onion rings, and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, until rings are browned and crisp.

While the onion rings bake, stir together sour cream and barbecue sauce.

Remove onion rings from the oven and serve immediately with sauce.
