; Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large stock pot to 375-400 degrees Fahrenheit.; Prepare the seasoned flour mix by combining flour with garlic powder, paprika, sugar and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk seasonings and flour to incorporate well.; Slice 3/4 inch off the root end of the onion. Make 12-16 slices into the trimmed end working in a clockwise manner. Do not cut completely through the onion, leaving about an inch of uncut onion near the opposite root end. Remove about 1 inch of the center petals from each onion.; Toss the onions in the seasoned flour to coat well. Peel back the petals slightly to allow the flour to reach between each petal, but do not remove.; Combine remaining flour, paprika, pepper, cornstarch, salt, garlic salt and beer in a second large mixing bowl. Whisk well until smooth.; Dip the floured onion in the batter. Allow excess batter to drip off the onion.; Use a fryer basket to carefully place the battered onions, one at a time, into the hot oil. Cook for about 90 seconds, flip and cook for an additional 90 seconds.; Transfer the onion to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.; Place on a serving platter and insert the cup of dipping sauce in the center of the onion.; – 1 large onion usually serves about 4-6. To serve 2 people, use a small onion.
