  • Eating Dove Poppers on Labor Day weekend is one of the biggest traditions hunters enjoy. Labor Day marks the opening day of dove season and is basically a state holiday here in Texas. Folks will go to school and work late to get that first hunt in. In this video the Meat Church team goes hunting at first light on opening day of dove season and then returns to the Meat Church outdoor kitchen to prepare dove 2 ways.

    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!

    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!

Or would the time and temp change since I wouldn't be using the jalapeño and cheese?

    Since the jalapeño boat method uses half a breast, that means you get twice as many poppers per dove. That's a powerful tie-breaker in my book.

    I LOVE DOVE and my neighbors wife found a video on UA-cam showing how to use your thumbs to push the breast off of the bones without using a knife and she said it was faster and easier. Also I’ve never tried your second method but the first method is my favorite but with pickled jalapeños and on some we put bbq sauce at the end, and I’ve never tried it with cheese. I like the classic method because you can keep the dove more on the medium to medium rare side because it’s better than fully cooked because it gets dry

  • @michaelhicks976
    @michaelhicks976 10 місяців тому

    If you hold the dove lying on its back and start with your thumbs at the breastbone, push down and out towards the wings, the skin will part exposing the breast meat which you can lift out. No need to pluck and cut wings off.
    Ive cooked mine same as both methods but the first method is by far my favorite but add a wedge of onion outside the breast before wrapping with bacon.
