How to Make Best Onion Rings Ever

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup instant potato flakes, and 1 cup club soda. Stir well and let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2. Place 2-3 cups panko bread crumbs in a shallow dish for dredging.
3. Cut 2 large yellow onions into 1/4-inch thick rings and separate them.
4. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
5. Dip each onion ring in the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the battered ring in the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
6. Carefully add the panko-coated onion rings to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through.
7. Remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Season immediately with salt to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
