Grilling dove is similar to cooking chicken breast or game birds like quail. Here are the steps to grill dove:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Clean the dove by removing the feathers, head, and feet. Rinse the dove under cold running water.
Pat the dove dry with paper towels and brush with olive oil or melted butter.
Season the dove with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs or spices, such as thyme or rosemary.
Place the dove on the grill, breast side down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until browned.
Flip the dove and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through. The internal temperature of the dove should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let the dove rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
