I have always cooked dove by making poppers using jalapeno pepper and cream cheese.

I'd appreciate any suggestions for another viable way of preparing and cooking dove.

Thank you.

Growing up it was dove gravy and biscuits for lunch on opening day. Man I miss those days!

Black iron pot smothered in a gravy.
Smoke them for about an hour then make a dove andouille gumbo.

poppers are always a go to, but gravys and quesadillas are hard to beat as well.

This is where its at. I pluck mine and grill whole. Spatchcocking makes it easier to gut and grill.

I like a little chili powder with salt and pepper or tony's or lemon pepper and garlic....

Season, brown in cast iron Dutch oven, Add chopped onions, garlic, worcestershire, hot sauce. Simmer, smother on low heat for a couple hours. Add water or red wine while cooking. Serve with white beans adn rice. There is no other way.

I've made really tasty both gumbo and jambalaya with them in the past.

My dad makes a killer dove gumbo. When he used to tailgate at LSU games he made a big pot once a year. It never lasted long.

Brown the shite out of them with onions and make a brown gravy. Best way to eat them.

He’s probably from a state like Alabama where the season typically did not open until 12:00.

Dove picante:

12 cleaned, whole doves or 16 breasts only.
4 sliced onions
2 cans of chicken broth
2 small jars of pace picante sauce
2 tbs salt
2 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs black pepper
1/3 cup of vegetable oil

In a large pot, heat oil on high and add doves seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir often until doves are browned on all sides. Add chicken broth and onions then reduce heat to medium, stir occasionally for 1 hour. Add picante sauce and reduce to low heat for another hour. Serve over cooked rice. This also works great with teal too. Enjoy!

From the season before. We used to be a part of a huge dove hunt. Hundreds of people. It was a big deal. Times have changed, people have died, property has been sold. But if you are from Watson you probably know of the hunt I'm speaking of.

Brown them and make a jambalaya instead of using chicken. I made mine last night and its a 10/10. They look like teal going in the pot but the flavor is much better.
