Baked Chipotle Onion Rings

Base baked onion ring recipe adapted from [Skinny Taste|http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/03/low-fat-baked-onion-rings.html]

Ingredients

1 medium onion, sliced into 1/4 inch rings
2-1/4c buttermilk
2T-3T adobo sauce from a can of chipotles (2T for a smoky heat, 3T for more of a spicy kick)
3/4c Panko crumbs
1/3c bread crumbs
salt and pepper
Cooking Spray (like Olive Oil spray or Canola Oil Spray)
coarse sea salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix buttermilk and adobo sauce until combined. Soak onion rings in adobo buttermilk in refrigerator for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 450. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix together the Panko, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Set half of the breading mixture aside.

Using tongs, dip soaked onions into breading mixture, thoroughly coating on both sides. Place onions onto parchment paper. When breading is used up (or too wet to stick to onions), switch to the other half of breading mixture. Repeat until all the onion rings are coated. Spray entire pan of rings generously with cooking spray.

Bake in 450 oven until brown and crispy, 12-15 minutes.

Season with coarse sea salt. Serve.
