Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Spray a baking sheet slightly with oil and set aside. Place potato chips in the bowl of a food processor and process into crumbs, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a shallow bowl, add cayenne, and set aside. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper and set aside. Slice onions into 1/2-inch circles and separate into rings, keeping only large, whole rings (reserve rest of onions for other uses). You should come out with about 12 to 14 rings.
- Place the remaining flour in a sealable plastic bag, then add onions, and shake to coat. Dip onions 1 at a time into the buttermilk mixture, then dip into potato chip crumbs and place on baking sheet. Spray canola oil evenly over rings and bake for 20 minutes, or until coating is crisp. Season with salt, to taste, and serve immediately.

ROAST PHEASANT
This is a quick simple recipe for fresh pheasant that has a very autumn feel to it. It is very good with potatoes, carrots and seasonal squash (I like acorn squash) diced and roasted in the pan with it. You can cook it at a higher temperature for a shorter time; just be sure to baste often since it is a very dry meat.

Tips:
- Choose a plump pheasant: Look for one with a moist, firm breast and no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Prepare the pheasant properly: Remove the feathers and organs, and rinse the bird inside and out. You can also brine the pheasant overnight in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar to enhance its flavor.
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your dish. Use fresh onion rings, mushrooms, and herbs for the best results.
- Don't overcook the pheasant: Pheasant is a delicate meat, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooking will make the meat dry and tough.
- Let the pheasant rest before carving: Once the pheasant is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
