Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup club soda, cold
Step-by-step Directions
Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, sugar, baking soda, onion powder, and garlic powder until well blended.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
Slowly pour in the cold club soda into the dry ingredients while continuously whisking to ensure the formation of a smooth batter. Allow the batter to sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.

Dip your choice of seafood or chicken pieces into the batter, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Fry in the hot oil until each piece becomes golden brown and crispy, typically taking about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 5: Drain and Serve
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pieces from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot alongside your favorite dipping sauces.
