Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Separate the onion slices into rings.
In one bowl add the flour, cornflour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the beaten eggs into a second bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs to a third bowl.
Coat each onion ring in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil.
Arrange the onion rings in a single layer and spray the tops lightly with oil.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through, until deeply golden and crisp.
Transfer the onion rings into a foil tray or heatproof dish.
Scatter over the pulled pork.
Top with cheddar and mozzarella.
Drizzle with BBQ sauce.
Return to the air fryer at 180°C for 3–4 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
Finish with crispy onions, jalapeños, pickles, or chipotle mayo if using.
Serve immediately while still molten and structurally questionable.
