Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Think of these as upscale fish sticks. Tender fish cubes are coated in a seasoned batter and deep-fried until crisp and golden brown. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

1 quart oil, for frying
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, divided
1/2 cup corn flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 pounds fish fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes (cod, tilapia, or halibut work well)
Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep fryer or deep, heavy pan.
Combine the egg, milk, salt, and half of the cayenne pepper in a shallow bowl. Whisk until combined.
Combine the corn flour, all-purpose flour, remaining cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder in another shallow bowl and mix well.
Dip the fish nuggets first in the egg mixture, coating them completely and letting any excess drip off. Next, dredge them in the flour mixture, coating them well on all sides.
Add the fish nuggets to the hot oil in small batches. Cook, turning as needed, until the fish is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the fish nuggets from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling while you fry the remaining batches.
Serve the fish nuggets immediately with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
