As for the verdict on tasting: overall, pretty good. The chicken was excellent; sauce recipe (following as closely as possible the 1953 version used for Elizabeth II's coronation luncheon) was basically as advertised. I am not sure I did the "poaching" of the chicken perfectly - it was my first time attempting that technique, and I think I may have overcooked it - but that aspect was still pretty good, and no complaints about the sauce.
