Ingredients

1 cup barbecue sauce
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups panko bread crumbs
2 large sweet onions , sliced into 1/2-inch rings

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place two baking sheets in the oven and let those preheat too.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Then whisk in the barbecue sauce and flour.
Place bread crumbs in a separate bowl.
Using tongs (or your fingers) dip onion slices in the barbecue sauce mixture, shaking off any excess, then gently dunk on all sides into the bread crumbs, making sure they are fully coated. Transfer to a cool plate or cookie sheet; repeat the process with all the onion slices.
Remove hot baking sheets from the oven and spray lightly with cooking spray. Move coated onions to hot baking sheets. Spray the coated onions lightly with cooking spray.
Bake for about 6 minutes, or until golden, then use tongs to turn each onion ring over. Spray the other side of the onions with cooking spray and bake for an additional 6 minutes. Watch closely to make sure the crumbs don’t burn.
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
