IKEA launches twist on royal Coronation chicken recipe with meatballs
IKEA has put a fun twist on its popular Swedish meatballs, revealing a chicken version to celebrate King Charles III's Coronation.
First created in 1953 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation, the four-step recipe combines HUVUDROLL chicken meatballs with a deliciously creamy curry sauce. While it won't be on the menu in the IKEA restaurant, shoppers can buy them in stores to make at home or serve at a street party.
'To mark the Coronation of King Charles III, we wanted to share our own take on the original Coronation Chicken,' Karen Hughes, country food Manager at IKEA, tells The Metro. 'In just four simple steps, anyone can enjoy a Swedish twist on a dish fit for British royalty featuring… you guessed it. Bon appétit or, smaklig måltid, as we say in Sweden.'
The Swedish retailer will also be hosting Coronation activities for the whole family until Monday 8th May, such as biscuit decorating.
