Salt and Vinegar Wings with Diamond Crystal Salt

Ingredients:

• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Diamond Crystal® California Sea Salt (divided, plus more for garnish)
• 2 ¼ teaspoons dry ranch seasoning mix
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground garlic powder
• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons red pepper hot sauce 

Directions:

1. Combine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of salt, ranch mix, sugar and garlic in a large bowl and whisk. Place wings in a large resealable plastic bag with half of the vinegar mixture. Marinate at least 3 hours, or overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 250°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with a wire rack. Lightly coat the rack with cooking spray.
3. Remove wings from marinade and pat wings dry with paper towels. Discard marinade. Place baking powder and remaining salt in a large bowl and toss wings to coat.
4. Transfer wings to prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425°, and bake until crispy and golden-brown, flipping halfway through, about 40 minutes.
5. Meanwhile combine mayonnaise and hot sauce in a small bowl. Toss cooked wings in reserved marinade. Garnish with chives and salt. Serve with mayonnaise sauce.
