- ¾ cup Flour
- ¼ cup Cornstarch
- ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp Salt

Frying
- Vegetable oil fill the pan about 2" - I use almost an entire 24 oz. bottle of vegitable oil.

- Dip rings three times in the sauce, then into panko and onto a large plate or baking sheet

- Stack on a plate, salt lightly, and serve right away with catsup or dipping sauce
Notes
This recipe is simple and delicious. The onion rings come out very crunchy and light.
And don't underestimate the power of Panko - it's lower in calories, fat, and sodium than regular breadcrumbs. The flakes are more defined and less dense, adding to the lightness of your dish.
Enjoy!
