Wings ... Lane's Q-nami rubbed, no fridge drying, no corn starch, 300 raised direct with small fire (less than half FB of lump). Turned several times, came out crispy like deep fried.
Rice pyramids ... first attempt, 50/50 scented/sticky rice cooked in rice cooker. Shaped then seasoned and basted with soy sauce & sesame oil on the surface only. Turned out decent but next time I'll mix rice with seasoning before shaping.

What's the wing method? Can you explain more?

@slovelad
I built a small fire by lighting less than half firebox full of lump in two spots (3 and 9 o'clock positions). Place wings on highest notch (not top) of AR (tjv's adjustable rig). Dome temp around 300F, flipped and rotated wings occasionally. Even without air drying the wings in fridge and without corn starch (both common practices used to get crispy skin), the wings came out crispy as fried. IT of wings was north of 180, I cooked till skin fat was well rendered. Hope that helps.canuckland -
That all looks amazing! Gonna try that out soon.

Gary you must have read my mind because I have been thinking of EXACTLY these 2 cooks (separately though) for the last week or so!! They look good from here ☺️
I miss the wings off of my drum smoker. I think the height of the grid from the coals is key (about 24" in my drum) and that sounds like what you did by using less lump and cooking higher on the AR. Bookmarked.

The shorter distance of the grid from the lump is maybe the one beef I have about the BGE. Especially the smaller ones.
What rice seasoning did you use? Furikake? And what did you not like about your method?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
@caliking Yes it's Furikake, I had trouble getting it to stick on the rice, perhaps the surface was too dry. Also it was kind of bland inside, making it smaller would help too I guess. Any tips?

sticky rice pyramids seems pretty cool.

I like it, Gary. I am not a huge wing fan, but I would definitely try yours. The rice pyramids are very interesting as well. Nice cook!Happily egging on my original large BGE since 1996... now the owner of 5 eggs. Call me crazy, everyone else does!

I was going to refer to The Japanese Grill book. @CPARKTX has done these (yaki onigiri) in the past and posted, so hopefully he will chime in. The book has a few variations, which include brushing with soy sauce, red miso and soy, shiso leaves chopped up and mixed in the rice. Also bonito flakes, powdered nori, furikake, and some other things (not all together) mixed into the rice before grilling. I think seasoning the rice with mirin ( like rice for sushi) would not be a bad idea, and for some reason, i want to chop up some anchovies and mix into the rice. With some gochujang... why not go all out?!?
I can share more specific details later on. Feel free to PM. We're off to Whistler for a week or so, but I'll get back to you when we return.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
Also, some recipes online mention filling the yaki onigiri with different things. Sort of like a samosa, but more rice than filling (unlike a samosa).#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
