1 8 birds of your choice

1 lb fresh bacon
1/2 c Italian salad dressing
1 tb paprika
1 ts ground sage
1/2 ts garlic powder
: Salt and pepper

When you BBQ smaller wild bird like dove, quail, chuckar, grouse etc., it
tends to be a little on the dry side. This recipe will definitely fix that.

Marinate birds in Italian salad dressing overnight. Pat dry, season with
paprika, ground sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Wrap each
bird with bacon slices. If you use more than one slice of bacon to cover
the bird match the seams on the same side. Place the birds on a medium-hot
grill, bacon seam side down. Cover and grill for 15 minutes. Turn and grill
another 15 minutes. Test the bird with a fork, if it is not tender cook an
additional 15 minutes.

Baked beans, stuffing, fresh vegetables, and bread of your choice would be
an excellent complement for this entree. After your birds are done throw
the bacon into your pot of baked beans for excellent seasoning. This recipe
also works very well with Cornish game hens.
