It’s daylight savings again! I swear, it feels like we JUST turned our clocks back, and now we’re turning them up again. As much as I like really miss that hour we lose in the mornings, I am greatly in favor of having an extra hour of light at night. It doesn’t get dark now until 7 or 7:30! Halleluiah! That also means I can get photos done later in the afternoon, which is crazy helpful.

What do you guys think of the whole petition to get rid of daylight savings? I can’t say I feel overly strong about it one way, or another. I’m curious what your thoughts are though!

So, regardless of the current time, it’s never a bad time for onion rings and wings right?! I’ve got a little twist for you though. I don’t have any old chicken wing for you today….today I’ve got FISH WINGS! Ya I know, we aren’t actually eating wings off of fish. But these tasty little fish nuggets from High Liner Canada are breaded and coated in a buffalo hot sauce, just like the hot wings we all know and love.

And what goes best with wings? Oven baked onion rings, of course! Put them together and you’ve got yourself a REALLY good (and quick) lunch, dinner or appetizer platter.

How do you make homemade breaded onion rings?

You need a few things to make your own baked onion rings:

sweet onions (these are different from the usual yellow onion)
milk (you can use non-dairy)
egg whites
all-purpose flour
paprika bread crumbs

If you saw my post for air fryer coconut shrimp, this dipping method is similar to that.

Start by slicing your sweet onions into 1/2″ rounds. I have to do this outside because even sweet onions inside make me cry for the whole afternoon! Now soak your onion slices in the milk while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

I like to lay out the egg whites, panko and flour in 3 shallow bowls, to make the dipping process easy for me.

I suggest keeping a dry dish towel or paper towel nearby as well, to wipe off your fingers while you’re dipping and breading the onions. You’ll start by grabbing an onion slice, shaking off any excess milk, dipping it in the flour, then the egg whites, then the panko. Be sure to press the onion slice right into the crumbs to completely cover it.

Line up the onions, side by side, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You’ll need 2 sheets.

How long do you have to bake crispy baked onion rings?

The onion rings will be cooked through after 25-30 minutes; although you have to be sure to flip them halfway through to keep the browning even.

When I made this meal, I used my double oven to bake the fish wings in the top oven and the onion rings in the bottom half, so that everything could be ready at the same time. If you don’t have a double oven, you can also use a toaster oven for the fish wings, OR do the onion rings first, then cover them with aluminum foil on a plate while you do the fish wings.

While everything is baking, you can whip up the buffalo aioli for dipping!

It’s also made with only a few ingredients:

buffalo sauce
mayo
minced garlic
honey

What else can you serve with this for dinner?

If you want to make these oven baked onion rings and fish wings into a full dinner, I would suggest serving it up with a big side salad. I’ve got a few suggestions from the blog:

We had this for lunch and it was fantastic. Honestly, those spicy fish wings are so good. I ended up going back to the grocery store and stocking up on a few extra boxes! They also happen to be perfect for late night snacking 😉

Happy daylight savings, guys!
