Meal No. 3466: Chicken with Coronation Sauce

Last Thursday night at the Roediger House featured a long-time favorite dish: chicken with coronation sauce over rice, this time accompanied by roasted garlicky asparagus cuts. This was the lead-in to a double dose of huge homecomings through the weekend, which brought tons of people and loads of activity to Winston-Salem: both Winston-Salem State University and Wake Forest University had their reunion activities in full swing, a definite rebound from these last few years of coronavirus curtailment. That meant a couple of WFU friends were here and made the Roediger House their homebase, which was pretty awesome.

This included Matt, who was a freshman one year and then an RA on my staff when I was Hall Director of Kitchin House at WFU, and who got here in time to partake of that supper.

I also had made a new batch of the cookie dough caramel ice cream with chocolate swirl, which made sense for two key reasons: I still had half a batch of the edible cookie dough I'd made, and it is one frickin' glorious ice cream. That was our sweet finisher that night and there was still more to carry us through the weekend. (I'm listing below the recipe sources for all of its elements, even though only the ice cream base itself was newly made; the caramel and chocolate sauces were hanging out in the fridge in their respective Mason jars from previous crafting.)
