2. In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F. Prepare a dredging station with flour, buttermilk, and panko breadcrumbs. Season the onion rings with salt and pepper. Dredge in the order of flour, buttermilk, and breadcrumbs. Fry until golden brown, about 2 3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
3. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each burger bun, adding a slice of cheese, BBQ sauce, and onion rings. Serve with french fries.

Chef’s Insight

To achieve that perfect sear, let the burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking before cutting into them.
