Directions: |
Directions:1. Make chili-horseradish sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill.
2. Make citrus-mustard dipping sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill this sauce, too.
3. Combine flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a large bowl. In another large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and coconut. In a third, smaller bowl, combine beaten eggs and milk. When your onions are sliced into wide rings and separated, bread each ring by first dipping it in the egg and milk mixture, then into the flour blend. Go through this first step with three or four onion rings at a time, allowing them to sit in the flour blend for a bit so that the flour has time to set up and stick to the onions. Dip those same onion rings back into the milk and egg a second time, and then back into the flour blend. Now we switch it up. Dunk the rings back into the wet stuff, and this time give them a coating of breadcrumbs. Do that one more time: wet stuff then breadcrumbs, and set the rings on a plate. When all of the rings have been breaded, allow them to rest for 30 minutes so the breading will surely stick when the rings are fried.
4. Preheat 4 to 8 cups of oil or shortening to 350 degrees F in your deep fryer. Fry 2 to 4 onion rings at a time for 1 to 2 minutes or until light brown. Drain the fried rings for a minute or so after they come out of the fryer, and then arrange them in three towers of 5 onion rings each, with the 16th onion ring stacked on the middle at the top of the three stacks. Serve the dipping sauces on the side in small bowls.
