Had a thought today while dove hunting and put it to the test. This may not be new to some folks, but it was new to me and tasty too.
Dove breast
Rib Rub
Bacon
Brown Sugar
Maple Syrup
Apple Juice
Beer
Start with well cleaned dove breast and sprinkle with your favorite rib rub.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
After the breast are well chilled, wrap with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Grill breast over medium low heat until the bacon is almost crisp.
When the bacon is almost done remove the breast from heat and cover with foil.
Heat syrup in a sauce pan adding just enough apple juice to thin it a little and allow it to reach a simmer.
Dip each breast in the pan to coat it and sprinkle a very small amount of brown sugar on top of each one.
Grill at medium high heat turning continuously until the bacon is crisp and the glaze has thickened.
Add any side items you want, open an ice cold beer and enjoy.

I was worried that they would turn out to sweet but the crowd was making them disappear so fast I barely had time to get this pic before they were gone too.
Another idea I had was to add a slice of jalapeño to each breast before wrapping. Then cut the meat off the bone, add cream cheese, onion, ect.... and make a fattie
