Ingredients

2 cups vegetable oil for frying
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons dry potato flakes
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup chilled club soda
2 cups panko bread crumbs, or as needed
2 large onions, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices and separated into rings
fine salt to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Whisk together flour, cornstarch, potato flakes, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in club soda to make a smooth batter. Place bread crumbs in a shallow pan.
Working in batches, dip onion rings into batter, then press in bread crumbs to coat.
Cook coated onion rings, a few at a time, in hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack set over paper towels to drain.
Season with fine salt and serve hot.
