Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut off the top (pointed end) and a small slice off the bottom of the onion to create a flat surface. Peel off the skin and cut about 1 inch from the top down into quarters, making sure not to cut all the way through.
-
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
-
Dip the onion into the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it is coated well, especially between the petals. Shake off any excess flour.
-
Carefully dip the onion into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
-
Coat the onion once again in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the petals are fully coated.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot to 350°F (180°C). Carefully lower the onion into the hot oil, petal-side up. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and fry for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
-
Remove the blooming onion from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
-
While the onion is frying, prepare the creamy chili sauce by combining mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well until smooth and combined.
-
Serve the hot blooming onion on a platter with the creamy chili sauce in the center for dipping.
