BARBECUED DOVES
Printer version of this recipe

Doves
Bacon
Barbecue Sauce

Prepare charcoal fire. Wrap the whole dove or dove breast in bacon and anchor with wooden picks. Place wrapped doves in a flat pan and baste with: Andrew's Barbeque Sauce

Let sauce soak in for about 30 minutes at room temperature. Grill the birds until bacon has cooked and birds are tender, usually 5 to 10 minutes. While cooking, turn and baste.

The real shame of dove hunting, or pigeons for that matter, is that people DON'T eat them. Often after a dove hunt I'm carrying an illegal amount of birds because the hunters they belong to just toss 'em....God'll get 'em for that....

PS - I often also insert a grilled jalapeno in the dove's breast for this.
