Great tip on how to butterfly a dove fillet. I've been doing it wrong for years! Start from the bottom down instead of from the top down. Best BBQ show on the internet, keep it up Matt!
Going Dove hunting this weekend, cant wait to try the traditional method! I'm from New Mexico so I may try Hatch Green Chile instead of jalapeno. Thanks for the video!
Never had dove. Those look delish though. You're the best, Matt. You're in the pantheon of best food channels on this platform. God bless you and your family.
Hunted dove for decades. We'd bring a charcoal Weber to whatever cheap motel we were staying and cook these in the parking lot. Similar to your grill method but with serrano, no cheese, bacon pinned and a hundred at a time (our group usually 10-12 hunters) soaked for a couple hours in teriyaki before grilling. And eating them cold in the field waiting for dawn the next days is really good. Thanks for doing this video!
We had a pretty good hunt this year and, in fact, I'm smoking some right now. Going with the jalapeno boat method. Opening day is a huge tradition in my family. I am 64 and have not missed an opening day since i was 12 years old. Starting taking my boys when they were 7 years old. Great to see you take your kids hunting. There is much to be learned in the field. Also great to see your spices in Academy! I loaded up the other day. Merry Christmas!
Awesome to see family bonding in the outdoors! I've also never seen dove prepared in any way, so it was cool to watch it made Texas-style. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Looks great! We used to Cook them hot and fast in a wok with some garlic, onions, peppers and then toss them out on a big cutting board with toothpicks and franks red hot and man they go fast at hunting camp!
I’m from South Texas and everyone does them “traditional ” but I found that the the Traiger cooks them a little more even. But honestly both are amazing!
Brings back the memories of bird hunting around the Brownwood area when I was a kid. We’d stop off in Dublin for real Dr. Pepper on the way home. Great video
Great ideas! We did several last week and I cooked the bacon for a few minutes before I wrapped the dove poppers. The bacon turned out perfect that way!
Just started watching and 5 minutes in and I look out my window and there are 7 mourning doves sitting on the bird feeder. I imagine they are all looking at me. LOL. Not a hunter but no problem with hunters. Looks good so far!
Maaaaaaan, I bet the jalapeño version is freakin great!! I'm addicted to the poppers, man. I also ran across some Holy Gospel at my local TSC and made some poppers as my first try for your seasoning and brother, that seasoning is the truth!!! Makin a pork loin tonight with that Gospel as well!! Love what ya do!! Teaching me a lot about the bbq game. 🤘
Thank you Matt. I learned so much from you. The only downside is that I cannot order all the articles on your shop in my country. But i am at least able to buy your delicious rubs
Hey Matt just got 5 bottles of your rubs in the mail today! We did some smoked burgers with The Gospel and it was amazing! Also I was in Ace Hardware yesterday and I saw all your rubs for sale haha needless to say but I’ll be buy at Ace instead of online.
Ooh yeah. Im soo glad you're sharing wild game meat recipes. Thank you for all you do. Everything i replicate is amazing . In fact some think Im some kinda chef at this point.
Use a spoon to pull the meat from the bone. After a Proper Texas Dove hunt it’s safer. Thanks for the culinary tips as always! See ya out there this year!
Buck season in PA opens the weekend of Thanksgiving. Used to be Monday, but it's Saturday now. Schools are usually closed the Monday of Thanksgiving weekend because Buck season is unofficial holiday
Tha is so much for this video! I’ve been asking for this! We needed a good way to make these taste good. So many people mess up the dove meat with bad recipes and cooking methods. All that time spent hunting just to eat medium rare gross poppers 🤢🤮
I can't wait to try these!! Thank you for sharing! I LOVE hunting with my boys too! So glad to see hunting season back again! Question - If I were to smoke just the dove breasts wrapped in bacon, would I still smoke it on 275 for about an 1 hour to an Hour and 20 minutes? Or would the time and temp change since I wouldn't be using the jalapeño and cheese?
Some awesome stuff brother. I just did my first order of your guys holy cow . Hope i like it . May i ask how you guys came up with the name meat church?
If I’m not mistaken if you clean in the field you need to leave one wing with the feathers in tact so game warden can identify them in case of inspection. Good video! Just don’t want to see you get in trouble for technicality’s
Never had dove cooked like this. My great grandma either wrapped them in apple wood bacon salt, pepper, and butter. One time she even fried them the same way she fried chicken. I loved them but not everyone else was into it
There is nothing like being out in the field with your kids and waiting for those doves to start flying at first light. I will give this method of doing doves for our next hunt.
Off subject, but do you have a link or where can u find the pan you made the keto queso dip in a few years ago? And was that just a normal wooden spoon you left in the pan while it was smoking?
I have never tried the traditional never even heard of it, but I am going to today. That looks amazing. As far as taste I tried holy cow and the gospel. The gospel is the one for me.
Nice to bring family into the video! I like that you introduced something different too. Question about removing the breast bone from the meat, what do you think about doing the same with a spatchcocked chicken or turkey?
Used to hunt every September first here in Oklahoma to kick off hunting seasons with Dove season. I’ve never heard of Dove poppers, gotta say it would make Dove breasts a lot more tasty. Thanks for another nice video.
He said "I own the company " that's awesome. Love watching your videos. Been a fan for many yrs keep it going
Thank you!
Good to see you do an episode using game meat, and great that you take your kids hunting. Nice job! Dove are awesome eating.👍
Thank you so much.

Thank you!
Maybe the most underrated poultry ever. Easy to clean, delicious to eat
Awesome recipe, would love to see more wild game on the menu. Thanks Matt!

How did it go!?

I really appreciate the kind words. -Matt
I raise Coturnix quail and hatch every 5 weeks. Whatever doesn’t get rehomed by 7 weeks old goes into the bbq! Thank you for covering this!

That is awesome Matt! Thanks for sharing. New to Texas, live outside of Justin. Loved hearing the hunters out there in the fields on opening day.
Welcome to Texas, Scott!
Their charisma in front of the camera is off the charts! 😆
What a great and versatile recipe idea!
“I own the company” flex!!!! LOVE IT!!!! Lol okay I’m done bow
I don't hunt, but I cant buy these at my butcher and will this weekend. Thank you. Love the videos. Cannot wait to go see your shop!!!
Awesome to see family bonding in the outdoors! I've also never seen dove prepared in any way, so it was cool to watch it made Texas-style. Thanks for sharing! 👍
I really appreciate the comment and feedback!
Keep up the great content! Looking forward to more recipes
Dude, I LOVE this. Grew up hunting Bobwhite Quail and eating it a bunch of ways (over wild rice is solid). Always looking for new ways to cook game.
Killer!
Nah... fried like chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and biskets.
Looks great! We used to Cook them hot and fast in a wok with some garlic, onions, peppers and then toss them out on a big cutting board with toothpicks and franks red hot and man they go fast at hunting camp!
You had me at “Fort Worth craft beer”.
Been looking forward to a wild game cook for a while now and what better way than to do some Dove Poppers!!!! Awesome!!!
Just tried the jalepeno popper recipe. SO good!
Good luck tomorrow! Can’t wait. Mouth watering just looking at them
I’m 64 and learned a new way to cook my favorite game bird 👍👍
Love the video Matt! Getting out there this weekend and hopefully we can recreate these delicious recipes 😋 thanks again
Ate a mess of some beautiful Carolina dove poppers last weekend. Great little treats!
Fantastic!
Way to keep the tradition alive👍
I’m from South Texas and everyone does them “traditional ” but I found that the the Traiger cooks them a little more even. But honestly both are amazing!
I have to agree!
Brings back the memories of bird hunting around the Brownwood area when I was a kid. We’d stop off in Dublin for real Dr. Pepper on the way home. Great video
I grew up hunting in Brownwood. You would like this video! ua-cam.com/video/W6ntMhQm_XE/v-deo.html
Those both look dang tasty! I haven’t been hunting in SUCH a long time, I gotta get back out there! There’s nothing like a good old Texas dove hunt!
Great ideas! We did several last week and I cooked the bacon for a few minutes before I wrapped the dove poppers. The bacon turned out perfect that way!
Love the Dove!!! So many ways to create a great healthy meal..
When I used to hunt dove, rabbit and deer were my absolute favorite.
Here we go! Need a glass from meat church!
Never hunted dove
Both look pretty good. I never had dove before. Cheers, Matt! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
Thanks!
Just started watching and 5 minutes in and I look out my window and there are 7 mourning doves sitting on the bird feeder. I imagine they are all looking at me. LOL. Not a hunter but no problem with hunters. Looks good so far!
LOL they know what is up.
Great video Matt- it’s hard to beat dove cooked any way. We grow up in Mississippi waiting on Labor Day weekend for opening day
That is awesome!
These are awesome! Just did this and the classic is the way to go!!!!!!
NICE!
I have never seen anyone or have I heard of anyone ever fileting a dove breast.. Learned something new, gotta give it a try! Thanks for sharing

Love the video thanks! I’m going to have to try the jalapeño boat!
OH Yeah... Good O'l Dove Poppers! I missed my hunt this year, but I plan to try a late-season hunt soon. Great Job, Guys! No place but Texas!
I graduated from Northwest so you are in my old stomping grounds!
Love these. To go with hunting season coming up, how about some jerky recipes on the smoker. Searched and didn't see any
Thank you Matt. I learned so much from you. The only downside is that I cannot order all the articles on your shop in my country. But i am at least able to buy your delicious rubs

Love to hear that!
Best video you have done. I love the wild game because no one does them.
Thank ya. I’ll make more. 👊🏽
Thanks for teaching me how to make poppers! With love, I wish I could teach you how to filet a dove.
I am sold! Man I miss Dove season!
You still have time. :)
@@MeatChurchBBQ long flight! 😀
@12:30 Will's expression: that's good 🤩

Best video yet by far! Let me know if you’re trying to get on some duck this year Matt! We’d love to have y’all down. Fishing too
Buck season in PA opens the weekend of Thanksgiving. Used to be Monday, but it's Saturday now. Schools are usually closed the Monday of Thanksgiving weekend because Buck season is unofficial holiday
that is cool
I do appreciate wild animal cooks
We used to do dove with jalapeño, cream cheese and shrimp wrapped with bacon. Delicious
Never tried w shrimp!
We tore em up right behind dbat on opening morning right there on the backside of waxahachie. The kinda flew late but we hammered em.
Bad ass!
Sweet!! Dove season!!!!
The best season.
Great video Matt!
Thank you!

Matt its that time again...any twist to the recipes this year?? Thanks for the awesome content brotha
Matt, since the holidays are around the corner, can you please make a video on Porchetta!!
That is happening this year!
Nice B-roll
I think my household would produce a tie…personally I like the jalapeño popper version, but like you said…there are no losers here. Good stuff man!
win win situation!
looks beautiful. Can't wait to try this out! Where can I order your spice blends?
Lowe’s has some of them and my local ACE has most of them. Or order online
Another Great Video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you got some...I saw ziltch
It was sort of slow but we got it done thankfully.
We hunt guail here in Montana great new recipe.
Some awesome stuff brother. I just did my first order of your guys holy cow . Hope i like it .
May i ask how you guys came up with the name meat church?

We do ours the traditional way but finished with bbq sauce. The best part is the dove hearts grilled. Kije little bits of filet
“I own the company” he says that’s awesome love it dude
;)
Plenty of white wings in South Texas. I do them with jalapeño and bacon. No need to screw up the taste with cheese.
Cheese is a major food group for me. As I always say, make my recipes your own and do what you like. Cheers!
Looks so awesome!
It was!
Never had dove cooked like this. My great grandma either wrapped them in apple wood bacon salt, pepper, and butter. One time she even fried them the same way she fried chicken. I loved them but not everyone else was into it
"I own the company, I've got plenty of seasoning" 😂😂😂 never change, Matt
;)
Any restaurants in the metroplex serve dove that I can try?
I am not sure.
What knife were you using in this video?
Walking in Chicago and bumped into a gentleman with a Meat Church Tee Shirt. Had to stop and talk BBQ

100% a thing in NC as well we do similar versions of both recipes also!
Love doves with cream cheese and jalapeños wrapped in bacon 🥓
Love it!
Matt, do you have a recipe for duck as well?
Nice ! Is 170ish what you target them cooked to?
I have never tried the traditional never even heard of it, but I am going to today. That looks amazing. As far as taste I tried holy cow and the gospel. The gospel is the one for me.
Awesome!
Yum!
Loved the video!
Would really enjoy a deer venison video too!
I have some coming.
They look great. I'd go with either method as long as you can keep the bacon from being soggy and the dove from being overcooked.
Love me some dove. Fried, poppers, smoked…all good.
I love it fried. I just had to pick a method. Tough call!
I add a small piece of pineapple in the jalepeno popper, gives it a nice contrast of flavors
Where do you get your insulated gloves?
@johngrasso9821 Maybe from a gum ball machine.
I use a knit glove (cotton string glove) with nitrile glove pulled over the top.
Nice to bring family into the video! I like that you introduced something different too. Question about removing the breast bone from the meat, what do you think about doing the same with a spatchcocked chicken or turkey?
It can be done.
Those are like white wings from the original Las Casas in Temple. Now at Clem's BBQ across the street.
I've many white wings there! My Dad lived in Temple for years. They owned Loop 363 Animal Hospital.
@@MeatChurchBBQ I bet those would be a hit at a tailgate!
Used to hunt every September first here in Oklahoma to kick off hunting seasons with Dove season. I’ve never heard of Dove poppers, gotta say it would make Dove breasts a lot more tasty. Thanks for another nice video.
Awesome!
Deer back strap with cream cheese and jalapeños 🔥🔥
I thought that dove poppers was my own creation-good to see that I’m not crazy after all
Matt, I was wondering if the doves were a bit thin this year because of the heat and not as much rain.
It was thin for sure. Headed back out in a few days to see if they are any better. I had friends that did really well in other areas.
is that in the stockyards??
Nah, my backyard.
Watching this while in the dove field on the opener
