Marinate and season the breast (chunks) however you prefer. Then I wrap peppered bacon around them, and slap 'em on the grill! Just that easy.

This is what didn't get eat for dinner.....

I don't..... I wrap raw bacon around 'em.
The dove don't take long to cook, so right at the end I turn up the flame and sizzle the bacon till browned and a little crispy.

Thanks. There was a very similar thread on a national duck site I go to and a lot of the guys felt that not pre-cooking the bacon ran the risk of over cooking the dove breasts. I'm going to cook some for my wife's son and a couple of his buddies in the next week.

Yum - that looks really good!!

I thought this was intriguing, although I've not tried it.


Sprinkled with hickory smoke salt (spice islands or homemade only), then finished last two minutes over high flames drizzled with
Orange blossom or tasmanian leatherwood honey, pulled off and spinkled with chopped rubbed tarragon

Makes me hungry!!!!!!

Me too!

Dave,,,where the heck do you shop?!?!

Mass Ave., and Talbot Street in Indy maybe?????

Possibly....lots of Terre Haute folks shop there also.

Sorry, Bo. Yaz derailed another one. Back on track...

Hey guys, you gotta shop in the VERY liberal stores to get the really good seasonings. Whole Foods, Pennzies, Trader Joe's and a number of others like that, then mix your own.

Now, back to doves!

WAIT JUST A MINUTE!!! I've been in Trader Joes!!! Never seen the 1'st "Liberal" in there!!!

If you've ever stepped a foot in Trader Joes, you ARE a liberal! If a person ever wore camo in a Trader Joes, they'd probably be arrested.

Your missing a couple of things. I always use a jalapeno slice and sometimes creme cheese. I don't mess with marinating them.

A slice of jalapeno and cheddar cheese added, wrapped in bacon. Baste with real butter while cooking...YUM!!

Don't care for the cheese on mine at all...... now you're starting to over power (hide) the flavor of the dove.

And I use cajun seasonings on mine for an additional "kick".
