They're actually pretty hard to do well. It's a small, dry bird with lots of bones. Relatively high on the challenge scale.

What a complete crock of shite. A dove is a simple thing to cook, and rates very high on the wild game cooking scale. Way more forgiving than say quail which dry out much faster. Fillet, pan sear to medium rare and treat like a duck breast. From here you can go anywhere with sauces and pairings. Or you can fillet, pound flat, dredge and flash fry. Serve with a honey mustard or something. Or leave on the bone, cut slits on either side of the breast, stuff the pockets with boudin, wrap in bacon and fry/grill. Or ducks bombs. Or blacken and eat over blue cheese salad. The possibilities are endless

Whole bird, skin on

Simple and good: marinate in Italian dressing, put on skewers and dust with Cavender's, grill to medium rare (obviously doesn't take long at all). Don't overcook.

Chicken fried quail with a side of Alabama white sauce. My neighbors talk about it for weeks every time I make it.

Clarify, bone in whole breasts, or breasts filleted off the bone like folks do ducks?

Off the bone can easily turn into hockey pucks, bone in gives you much better odds of delicious outcomes.
