• ● 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• ● 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ● 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ● 1 teaspoon cayenne
• ● 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• ● 1 teaspoon salt
• ● 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup (113 grams) mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 2 teaspoons ketchup
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
• Dash ground black pepper
• Dash cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1 Whisk together buttermilk and 2 eggs in a large bowl and set aside.
2 Dip all onion wedges in egg wash and let sit.
In a separate bowl, combine flour with garlic powder, cayenne, paprika,
salt and pepper, tossing together to incorporate.
3
Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until approximately 350º F. Oil is ready when it's shimmering and spits when water is dropped into it.
4
In a third bowl, whisk together all dip ingredients. Set aside.
5
Remove onion wedges from egg wash and shake off excess, then
transfer to seasoned flour mixture and dredge onion completely.
6 Carefully lower dredge onion wedges into hot oil and fry on each side until golden brown.
7
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then serve immediately, along with dip. Enjoy!
