I agree with Virtually There - use enough opposite rudder to prevent further yaw/roll (not necessarily full deflection) and enough central forward stick to reduce AoA and get both wings flying again - there is no need to exclude one control input or the other, although it is possible to prevent wing drop in a turn by relaxing the back pressure alone if you're quick. And certainly don't use aileron to try and correct a roll caused by a stalled wing .. period! You will probably get away with it in many GA aircraft but in others you won't. If you apply the same poor technique (picking up wing drop with aileron) you learnt in a forgiving aircraft, while flying a less forgiving aircraft, it will spin. Shocking that these aerodynamic fundamentals known for 100 years are still so widely misunderstood.
