I hear the key is the buttermilk and on other tip. Always use sweet white onions, red onions are no good.

A little secret that iv'e used for years is if you can't get really sweet onions that day at the grocery store- slice onions and brine in a salt/sugar solution in the fridge for a couple of hours then treat/prepare rings by your favorite recipe! Our go-to recipe is buttermilk wash, dust in flour, back in wash, then into panko bread crumbs, fry and enjoy!!! :)

Sounds good!

Has anyone tried using whole onions as a smoking medium? I heard years ago that you can toss them onto your fire to give smokey onion goodness to your meats.

Now that is something I haven't heard of, is this for charcoal smoking? I've used pecan and walnut shells when cold smoking cheese. I may have to give that a try.It's all good my friend.

Yep. You just put a whole onion or two directly on the coals and let them create smoke as they burn. I've never tried it, but it is supposed to be good.
