Chicken Tonight is a well-known brand of simmer sauces specifically designed for quick and easy chicken dishes. Originally launched in the United States in the early 1990s by Ragú (then part of Unilever), it became a cultural phenomenon in the UK and the Netherlands, famous for its catchy 'I feel like Chicken Tonight' jingle and the accompanying 'chicken dance' television advertisements.

Over the years, ownership of the brand has become regionalized. In the Netherlands, where this specific jar is from (indicated by the Dutch text and 'Almelo' address), the brand was sold by Unilever to the Dutch-based Zwanenberg Food Group in 2019. Zwanenberg had already been manufacturing the sauces for Unilever since 2017 at its facility in Oss.

Today, the product continues to be a staple in Dutch supermarkets, offering a range of flavors like Kerrie (Curry), Zoetzuur (Sweet and Sour), and Ajam Pangang. While the brand originated in the US, this particular product is firmly a Dutch household name, produced and owned locally in the Netherlands.
