JUBILICIOUS

Fifty plus years ago, Coronation Chicken was invented by chefs Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume of Le Cordon Bleu School in London as a delicacy to mark the celebrations of 1953. In calendar year 2002, to mark The Queen's Golden Jubilee, Royal chefs at Buckingham Palace created a new chicken dish which Her Majesty The Queen of England tasted and approved.

The dish combines pieces of lightly cooked cold chicken with a fresh, tangy dressing. The delicious concoction was included in picnic baskets given to guests at the two Queen's Concerts at Buckingham Palace on 1 and 3 June 2002.
