Delicious Dove Recipes

DOVE NUGGETS AND OTHER DELICIOUS DOVE RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare doves by removing the attached wings and trimming the breasts away from the bone so that you're left with two pieces.
• Add flour to a small bowl and mix in ½ teaspoon of creole seasoning. Whisk eggs into another small bowl. Mix the remaining creole seasoning into a third bowl with the bread crumbs.
• Dip each breast into the flour first, then the egg. Make sure to allow the excess egg to drain off before dipping the dove breast into the seasoned breadcrumbs. Place the breaded breasts on a platter as you work until all the dove breasts are coated.
• Heat oil until it reaches 350°F and 375°F. Add a few breasts at a time and fry until golden brown. This should take approximately 30 to 45 seconds.
• Allow excess oil to drip off into the pot, then drain the fried Dove Nuggets onto paper towels.
• Serve the Dove Nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce. I use my son's Buffalo Ranch Sauce recipe, which can be found in my Zucchini Corn Fritter post.
