Michael Buerk is a good interviewer and presenter, chefs Paul and Anna clearly love what they do. Excellent episode.

Michael is definitely the antagonist of the three. LoL😂

Michael Buerk is annoying and unnecessary interviewing two passionate chefs especially Paul who doesn't need assistance or someone who rather talk about Royals and their personalities and lifestyles almost as much as the food they ate.

[@kcenzer4128]

Thank You, Chef Buerk....I LOVE the importance you bestow on the various events that menu's are established and prepared. Particularly something as IMPORTANT as a Coronation! In THIS instance, 50 years of a VERY famous recipes...including Melon Balls...and sometimes Coronation Salmon. Included in THIS video is Chef Paul Ainsworth. In His opinion...it is "Coronation Chicken". He presented a "pink" chicken prepared as Queen Elizabeth, herself, wanted done. In this video, the Chef prepares the " Coronation Chicken " so we may understand what it represented to the Queen. The stock is very important for the flavor. For instance, Yogurt and Mayonnaise are very important for the recipe. Chicken breasts is the meat Only. Moist and Tender, which is the important factor. Finishing the chicken with a "Coronation of Coriander" to top it off. Beautifully prepared and executed by the Chef....Thank You!

[@janeEAV]

Thank you so much, I was able to recreate Paul’s Coronation Chicken and we love it! ♥️

[@wendyshoowaiching4161]

Play safe. Always use the drumstick (deboned) if one is serving the guests. Thats the best part, not the breast meat. And the chicken have to be free range (9 months up). Best cook method is the Hainanese Style. Simmer till cook (just nicely cook) timed & ice bath. Then cut cold. Pour the cooked sauce on top.

I’d rather see how the coronation chicken was made for the coronation. I don’t much care what the modern chefs ‘take’ on it is. I watch this show to see how prior generations cooked and ate. If I want a modern take, I’ll watch a modern cooking show.

[@kellyvaters1689]

If there's a "modern take" on something historical, it can often mean that the original ingredients and method resulted in a dish that may not appeal to today's palette. They remarked on the original recipe tasting bland - which is a reasonable criticism of a recipe from the early 50s when spices, particularly curries and similarly "hot" blends, were used more sparingly. What Paul's done is actually a great improvement on the dish with a relatively small change in method and the inclusion of a couple new ingredients - visually more appealing and with a more complex and layered flavour profile.

[@amanda7263]

I find the chicken looks particularly unappealing: no color on it, being poached and then topping it with fancy mayo. Pass, Michelin star or not. Sorry.
