1 lb yellow onions (or white, sliced into ⅛ inch rings)
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt (plus more for serving)
½ tsp black pepper
vegetable oil (for frying )

Instructions

Separate onion rings and combine with buttermilk in a freezer bag or large bowl and let marinate for 20 minutes (or up to 24 hours if you'd like).
While onions are marinating, combine flour, salt, & pepper in a large bowl.
Heat 1" of oil in a skillet or heat a deep fryer to 375°F.
Remove onions from the buttermilk and drain well. Gently toss with the flour mixture.
Add small batches of onions to the hot oil. Gently stir with tongs and cook until browned, 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with seasoned salt or kosher salt if desired.
