So tasty with burgers straight off the grill and don't forget a splash or so of hot sauce mixed in to a side of catsup for dipping to really spice them up ;-)
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F.
Separate the onion slices into rings. Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated and set aside.
Whisk the egg and milk into the remaining flour mixture. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat and place on a wire rack to drain until the batter is no longer dripping.
Spread the panko crumbs out on a plate or in a shallow dish. Coat rings one at a time and give a tap to remove excess crumbs.
Deep fry the rings a few at a time until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Place on paper towels to drain. Season the rings to taste and serve.
