I have a real basic way I cook dove, i cut the meat away from the breast cook in a pan in butter about medium done--salt pepper serve with wild rice. Or leave breast whole place in my smoker for 2 to 3 hours don't want them tuff but moist and tender (I use hickory). Season serve with sweet corn and salad with fresh tomatoes and a nice beer normally a Pilsner.
