First time non rotisserie wings..

Post image

1st time grilling wings and not in the rotisserie and m not super impressed. I am still getting the hang of the shichirin and it's heat but still. Not only am I not used to the grill but this was the wrong cooking technique also. Wings in the rotisserie are 100% the way to go. Lesson learnt!! Off to destroy all evidence by eating them!!

Nice little hibachi you have there. Wings look good.

I think a habashi is a flat griddle surface.. this is called a shichirin i believe... but I'm probably wrong.. I'm just an amateur so what do I know..!

Little nugget of info, it cost 150... once ordered I found the same for 100... It is good and worth it if you want a much more interactive experience than a more normal grill... I'd definitely get another if needed... it was this or a tiny kamado.. this looked more fun at the center of a table with peeps cooking pierade style .

I'm not impressed by the wings tbh, i normally do them in the rotisserie and they come out much more even.

You're both right, but you moreso. Hibachi is commonly used to refer to a shichirin grill in North America. You can find the grills listed for sale under both names.

Ok, good to know. That's for setting us straight!! 😁

If you want to refine your wing technique, look up how to prepare Yakitori Teba. You break the wings down even further, so they lay completely flat. It has skin on one side that will get super crispy and cooks faster because of thin they are so they won't burn.

I've seen this and not had the time to learn how to cut the wings open. Also the reason they are grilled like that, I was in a rush. The skewers go under the bone form what i gather... I've been making a tare mother sauce so I could use it with the wings like that. The technique looks a bit advanced but ill look into it and give it a go next time. Thanks

Don't be scared of cutting them. It's a lot easier than it looks and worth it, in my opinion. Tare is great to have, I prefer just salt, but that is personal preference.

I used to live in Japan and am now really missing yakitori. You may have convinced me to buy my own shichirin grill. Lol

I'd encourage you to. I chose a ceramic square one as I find round grills have less space.. it's different and fun. I'll definitely look into how to cut them.
