Air Fryer Chile-Lime Spiced Onion Rings deliver a crunchy, light bite with a bright tang and gentle heat from chile-lime seasoning balanced by savory adobo. The sweet onion center stays tender under a shattering panko crust, making them a standout side or game-day snack. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce when you want something bold yet not too heavy.

1

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, flour, chile and lime seasoning, and adobo seasoning to make the batter. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
2

In a shallow dish, combine the panko, adobo seasoning, and chile and lime seasoning; mix well. Take the batter out of the refrigerator. Dip the onion rings into the batter, then into the bread crumb mixture, turning to coat, and gently shake off any excess crumbs. Lightly spray both sides of the onion rings with cooking spray.
3

Preheat the air fryer to 340 degrees F (170 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with a parchment liner or lightly spray it with oil.
4

Arrange the breaded onion rings in the fryer basket in a single layer, leaving about 1/2-inch space between the slices.
5

Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and lightly browned. You may need to cook in batches, and the cooking time may vary depending on the size and brand of your air fryer.
6

Remove from the air fryer, transfer to a baking sheet, sprinkle with kosher salt, and place in a 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) oven to keep warm.
