Mix ground beef, chorizo, diced onion and shredded cheese and form 8 burger patties.
Grill or fry until desired doneness and top each burger with 1 slice Deli American and let slightly melt.
Spread bbq fry sauce on the top and bottom of your buns. Assemble your burger in the following order: burger patty, onion straws, candied jalapenos, burger patty onions straws and candied jalapenos.
For onion straws:
Place thinly sliced onions in an 8x8 dish and top with buttermilk and hot sauce. Stir to combine and let sit for at least an hour.
In another dish mix together flour, pepper, paprika and kosher salt, set aside.
In a deep skillet or Dutch oven add oil and heat until 375 degrees. Keep any eye on the heat and try to keep it steady at 375. It’s ok if the heat drops a little right after you add the onions but it should bounce back.
In several batches take a little of the onions out of the buttermilk and toss in the flour mixture to coat.
Drop in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain any remaining grease. Continue until all the onions have been fried.
