Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2023
- 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.

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.
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!
He said "I own the company " that's awesome. Love watching your videos. Been a fan for many yrs keep it going
Thank you!
What a great and versatile recipe idea!
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.
I really appreciate the kind words. -Matt
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!
Awesome recipe, would love to see more wild game on the menu. Thanks Matt!
Love the video Matt! Getting out there this weekend and hopefully we can recreate these delicious recipes 😋 thanks again
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 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!
Thank you!
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!
How did it go!?
Way to keep the tradition alive👍
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!
Been looking forward to a wild game cook for a while now and what better way than to do some Dove Poppers!!!! Awesome!!!
Their charisma in front of the camera is off the charts! 😆
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!
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
“I own the company” he says that’s awesome love it dude
;)
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!
I do appreciate wild animal cooks
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!!!
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!
Both look pretty good. I never had dove before. Cheers, Matt! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
Thanks!
Looks so awesome!
It was!
Love the video thanks! I’m going to have to try the jalapeño boat!
When I used to hunt dove, rabbit and deer were my absolute favorite.
Nothing better than dove poppers! Great video!
THANK YOU!!
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!
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!
Another Great Video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
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!
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.
Love to hear that!
Ate a mess of some beautiful Carolina dove poppers last weekend. Great little treats!
Fantastic!
“I own the company, I got plenty of seasoning”
C’MON 🤣
Great video Matt!
Thank you!
Here we go! Need a glass from meat church!
Never hunted dove
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
“I own the company” flex!!!! LOVE IT!!!! Lol okay I’m done bow
Sweet!! Dove season!!!!
The best season.
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.
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 🤢🤮
Best video you have done. I love the wild game because no one does them.
Thank ya. I’ll make more. 👊🏽
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 for that compliment!
Yum!
We used to do dove with jalapeño, cream cheese and shrimp wrapped with bacon. Delicious
Never tried w shrimp!
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
Walking in Chicago and bumped into a gentleman with a Meat Church Tee Shirt. Had to stop and talk BBQ
Love these. To go with hunting season coming up, how about some jerky recipes on the smoker. Searched and didn't see any
I am sold! Man I miss Dove season!
You still have time. :)
@@MeatChurchBBQ long flight! 😀
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
Nice B-roll
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
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!
I thought that dove poppers was my own creation-good to see that I’m not crazy after all
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.
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?
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!
Love doves with cream cheese and jalapeños wrapped in bacon 🥓
Love it!
We hunt guail here in Montana great new recipe.
Certified Gold!!!!!
THANKS!!
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!
Glad you got some...I saw ziltch
It was sort of slow but we got it done thankfully.
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
I had to give this video a like just for the glove police comment love it
100% a thing in NC as well we do similar versions of both recipes also!
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.
You hate to pull a WHAT NOW 😂?? This makes me wish we have doves flying around where we live!
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
Cutting the meat off the keel is way easier when going from the top - down. Make you initial cut along the keel from the top, and it will save 3x the time.
Loved the video!
Would really enjoy a deer venison video too!
I have some coming.
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!
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.
Fantastic!
Matt, since the holidays are around the corner, can you please make a video on Porchetta!!
That is happening this year!
Next tailgating episode should be Nashville Hot Chicken Dip!
I rescued a baby dove that fell from it's nest.
Raised it taught it to fly and couldn't get rid of the darn thing.
Not a fan of dove meat but a big fan of quail.
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.
Good point for sure.
Miller Lite i.e. "Ft. Worth Craft Beer" LOL
Yep. Cheers!
@12:30 Will's expression: that's good 🤩
Do both, get some great corn tortillas and make tacos. Game changer. We eat them all ways but…. South Alabama recommendation.
I agree. Love corn tortillas.
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
Agreed!
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!
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?
I add a small piece of pineapple in the jalepeno popper, gives it a nice contrast of flavors
Not to be a sister kisser! Too funny. Never heard that before. Haha
Learned that when we tied a hockey game back in the day.
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.
Love me some dove. Fried, poppers, smoked…all good.
I love it fried. I just had to pick a method. Tough call!
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.
This is super interesting, I never realized you could eat dove before. Is it super gamey? I'll def have to try this, just looking it at them I'm sure they will be hella good.
Not very gamey but a lot of people marinade to reduce that even more.
They looked great Matt and I never had Dove. Hey at-least you didn’t have any of those clowns who comment and say “first” or “second.” Gosh that irritates me!
LOL
I’ll take any “dirty” bottles 😂😂
Swap the jalapeños for mini sweet peppers and use garlic Parmesan cream cheese. Less spice tons of flavor.
Man I love this channel!
We love you! Thanks for being here.
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?
Dove Poppers ... you won't find those in Ohio ... PS I am using Holy Cow in everything, just made a chili with 80/20 beef and Chorizo and substituted salt/pepper with Holy Cow... added pickled jalepenos ..... it was amazing. Thanks again for the great videos.
Awesome!
Nice ! Is 170ish what you target them cooked to?
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!
Matt, do you have a recipe for duck as well?
You gotta do the cream cheese method that way you can also make some “Pig Shots” ( which I saw on Meat Church).
Yessir!
I own the company I’ve got plenty of seasoning that’s hilarious 😂 😂 amen brutha preach 🍻🍻🍻
