We always got the white sauce. I can’t remember if it was an Alfredo sauce or what, but it was good.

We did the chicken cacciatore.

Never knew it was by Ragu though.

There was a Country French Chicken that was my favorite.

I totally remember the song and I’m singing it in my head now but I didn’t remember the song being for sauce though. I thought it was for a shake and bake type product. Weird.

I also sing the jingle but I don’t think I actually had it growing up, may parents would hardly ever buy name brand stuff.

[-]

Weekly-Bill-1354@reddit

I am disappointed in my life as I never had this. Shake and bake yes, but chicken tonight no. Clearly was not loved as a kid.

[-]

Primary_Company_3813@reddit

We weren't allowed to have it because it came from a jar....😒 I was deprived also

JudgmentParty1571@reddit

This song will never leave my heart! Everyday somehow, I hear it in my mind”s eye. I’m so amazed with your post right now! Bravo!

[-]

As a chronically malnourished kid I remember seeing these commercials and thinking, "I feel like chicken tonight. But it's not going to happen." I'm sad this stuff was discontinued. I'm still curious as to what the flavor profile was like.

[-]

Jerkrollatex@reddit

Kroger sells something similar and just calls it simmer sauce. It's not bad for a fast dinner.

[-]

primusperegrinus@reddit

It’s basically just spaghetti sauce.

[-]

catsoncrack420@reddit

It's probably best it was discontinued. I'm sure it would be banned in most developed nations outside the USA. The 70-90s kids were guinea pigs for food companies. Explosion of artificial flavors, chemical preservatives. I don't even wanna know what they used as ""chicken".

[-]

PotentialPlum4945@reddit

Yeah, as a starving kind I would not have given one single flying fuck about the high sodium and trans fats.

[-]

catsoncrack420@reddit

I'm with you there. I remember the government cheese blocks my local church would hand out at times. Actual cheese back then.

[-]

sahurley@reddit

But this is the light version! Less fat and only three times the salt and sugar!

[-]

CTMechE@reddit

It was a line of simmer sauces FOR chicken. It did not contain chicken.

[-]

Turd_fergu50n@reddit

The chicken wasn’t in the jar, it’s just the sauce.

[-]

Temporary-Warning883@reddit

I think you were supposed to provide your own chicken, it was basically a simmer sauce

[-]

Aquatichive@reddit

You could try that one!

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight!

I can’t say I’d ever seen the label before but I started singing the song before I had time to process. Deepest memory unlocked 🤣

Gotta do the dance too

Thanks, song and dance are now stuck in my head.

nipslippinjizzsippin@reddit

i havnt even eaten this stuff since the early 2000's and i still sing the song everytime i cook chicken.

[-]

killervirgo@reddit

Seeing the "New!" on a dusty jar is hilarious.

[-]

BrilliantTop5012@reddit

This was the one flavor my mom made. I was always curious about the other varieties. But I really liked chicken tonight night. She’d make egg noodles with it.

[-]

Daftpfnk@reddit

Mmmmmm. Light Ragu

[-]

Ok_Industry3016@reddit

LNAO completely forgot about this!

[-]

lmpcpedz@reddit

LOL man... I remember the jingle just forgotten what name brand food was promoting it lollll good times.

[-]

CherryCherry5@reddit

I don't know if it wasn't available in Canada or my parents just didn't buy it, but I never got to try it. Wasn't it just sauce? If you used a jar of pasta sauce or alfredo sauce, would you get the same results?

[-]

TargetApprehensive38@reddit

It’s weird because I remember the jingle very well, but had no idea it was a tomato sauce.

[-]

This jungle will literally pop into my head in the most random situations. I’ll be at a funeral and this song will pop into my head.

[-]

ThingsOfThatNaychah@reddit

I get the "Who Wants Trident?" jingle from around that same time in my head all the time.

[-]

elkniodaphs@reddit

It's actually a really good idea for a product, and it's surprising nothing ever really filled the vacuum left by its absence.

[-]

nvmls@reddit

They sauces they sell for slow cookers come close, but this stuff was great because you just used the oven.

[-]

BigManWAGun@reddit

That looks 30 years old

[-]

jbles462@reddit

I bring this up to people and they have no idea what I’m taking about then I sing the song and still nothing.

[-]

ilovjedi@reddit

I want the French country one with a white sauce and carrots. I still miss it and think about it regularly.

[-]

Perfect_Caregiver_90@reddit

Same here. There are some dupe recipes that get close out there.

[-]

FatReverend@reddit

I instantly know the song yet as much as it stuck in my head, I never correlated it a specific brand in my head. The song will be there tomorrow but it still will not be connected to Ragu for me.

[-]

Common_Juggernaut724@reddit

I saw another Reddit post about this recently, and was talking to my wife about it. There was one variety of this that we used to use all the time, but we couldn't remember what it was. A Google search uncovered not only that it was likely a Spanish flavor, but that you can STILL BUY CHICKEN TONIGHT.

[-]

Killjoykarl10@reddit

I actually sing this song at work atleast once a day lol.

[-]

CTMechE@reddit

It was famous enough to make it on The Simpsons, so I'm not at all ashamed to remember it still

MonkeyBred@reddit

Not kidding... alluded to it 30 minutes ago.

The Mrs. asked me, "If you feel like it, tonight?"

"What, chicken? Yeah, I feel like it... tonight."

We both knew what we were saying without saying it.

Great, now it's stuck in my head.
