Easy Blooming Onion with Sylvia’s Soulfood Crispy Fried Chicken Mix
When it comes to Blooming Onions, they’ve always been so intimidating to make. Mainly because it seems like the ones at restaurants come out so perfect every single time. Well, I discovered an easy way to replicate the restaurant style blooming onions while also packing it with a ton of flavor. My secret ingredient that helps bring it all together is Sylvia’s Soulfood Crispy Fried Chicken Mix.
One bag of this mix will help you make about 4-6 large onions. You just use have of the mix and add beer to make your liquid batter. Then you use the other half of the bag for your dry batter. Freeze each onion and just add to your deep fryer when you’re ready to rock and roll!
How to make a successful Blooming Onion
- When cutting each onion, I find that using chopsticks help me not to cut the onions completely.
- Use ice water to help open up the onion.
- Make sure you oil is nice and hot. Add a little flour to the oil and make sure it complete sizzles and starts to fry before starting to fry you onion.
- You can also core the middle of the onion half way down so that the onion blooms a little more. This step will also allow you to place a sauce in the middle of the onion.
