Chicken Tonight is a prominent global brand of simmer sauces specifically formulated for chicken dishes. Originally launched in the early 1990s, the brand became a cultural phenomenon due to its memorable 'I feel like Chicken Tonight' advertising campaign. It was designed to provide a convenient, one-pan solution for home cooks looking to prepare diverse flavors like Creamy Mushroom, Spanish Style, and Honey & Mustard with minimal effort.

The brand's ownership has transitioned through several major food conglomerates over the decades. Originally a product of the American company Unilever (under the Ragú or Kan-Tong banners in different regions), the brand was sold off in various markets during the 2010s. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the brand is currently owned and managed by Symington's. In other regions, such as Australia and New Zealand, the brand was acquired by Simplot.

Manufacturing typically occurs in the region of sale to ensure supply chain efficiency. For the British market, production is centered in the United Kingdom, while Australian products are manufactured locally in Australia. The brand remains a staple in the convenience cooking category, continuing to evolve its flavor profiles for modern palates.
