Chicken Tonight Mild Butter Chicken cooking sauce

Chicken Tonight is a widely recognized brand of simmer sauces designed for quick meal preparation. The brand originally launched in the United States in the early 1990s under the company Ragú, which was then a subsidiary of the British-Dutch multinational Unilever. Famous for its memorable television advertisements and catchy jingle, the brand eventually shifted ownership as corporate portfolios evolved.

In Australia and New Zealand, the brand was acquired by Symington's in 2011, and the manufacturing for these markets is predominantly based in Australia to serve local consumers. The brand's products are formulated as ready-to-use sauces that require only the addition of meat or vegetables, making them a staple for convenient home cooking. Today, the trademark is owned by different entities depending on the region, with Symington's managing the brand in the Australasia region while other companies handle distribution and ownership in the United Kingdom and Europe.
