Gonna have to try the buffalo ones udaman that looks good

all the above ... one that I grew up on that my mother used be the only way I knew to eat dove the first 18 years of my life, was German fry (or that's what we called it anyway)... breast out the dove (no plunking here) bone-in, rinse in water to remove external blood & left over feathers, let soak in water while prepping, pat dry on dish towel (or paper towel these days). Put a couple tablespoons all purpose flour in a plate or bowl, salt & black pepper, Dip whole breast (bone in) in sweet milk, roll in flour mixture, cast iron skillet with a little oil/grease (enough to lightly cover the bottom) over low to low medium heat, place floured doves in grease, place close but not touching, place lid on skillet, about 8-10 minutes, remove lid, flip doves to other side, replace lid, cook another 8-10 minutes until flour turns golden brown to dark golden brown, move to plate, serve hot ... with homemade skillet fries (cooked similar method), cream gravy (made in dove skillet with dredges)... eat em off the bone ... probably eaten over a thousand like this, my still preferred method over all the others including bacon wrapped, jalapeno stuffed smoked/grilled... could do similar by filleting breast halves off the bone, but this is quick with bone-in.
