Chicken Chasseur is notable from being made with red wine, mushrooms and flavoured with tarragon. As chasseur is French for Hunter, you are right to confuse the two. However outside of the world of the gourmand, Hunters Chicken is separate dish where the chicken is smothered in BBQ sauce and has cheese melted on top of it. Each has their place in the world however as you quite rightly point out, that jar of lazy arse chemical shite has no place in either.

^ Erm thanks but i didn't confuse anything. You are new and you need to stamp on these culinary Amazighs. Its called hunters chicken in French but you have to wonder just how many chasseurs stalked deer or boar and settled in camp after a successful hunt to chuck a bottle of red in their stew. I think not

That BBQ sauce shite is an export from across the pond, I'm sure Snubbles can give us the history....

I was referring to its origins if its name is to be believed, not the dish it is today.

Smokey Barbecue - Chicken Tonight
U.K.

As with a lot of things my friend, started in the marketeers coven of the USA and then spreads around the world with people thinking it is not American. But it is. A bit like .....

HistoryInitially launched on October 23, 1990 under Unilever's Ragú brand in the United States and Canada, it was launched in the United Kingdom under the Knorr brand in 1993, while the same year, Chicken Tonight made its way to Oceania under the Raguletto brand. As of 2015, Chicken Tonight is a standalone brand.


The associated advertising slogan is "I feel like Chicken Tonight". In one series of television ads, these words were sung by actors as they 'flapped' their arms in a movement similar to the dance "The Chicken".[1] An advertisement for Chicken Tonight was the first in the United Kingdom to use a red button interactive service to promote the product.[2]


The American version of the product was met with limited success; however, as of 2021, it is still sold in Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Association football player Ian Wright appeared in commercials for the product. In 2011, Unilever sold the Ragu business and the Chicken Tonight brand (in a deal worth £30m) in the United Kingdom to Symington's, a food manufacturer in Leeds, who would drop the Knorr Branding.[3] Symington's later acquired the Oceania rights to Raguletto and Chicken Tonight; they have since been acquired by Simplot.[4] In 2019, Unilever also sold Chicken Tonight brand in the Netherlands to Zwanenberg Food Group.[5]

they are very nice indeed. I tend to cook them longer on a lower heat to really crisp up the outside, then fold into quarters to get the flakiness going on them.

Who'd have thought it, numpty...the perfect opportunity...

^ Have you been going in Poundland or B&M lately?

^Every Lidl helps

I'd check the label, i'm sure they stopped Chicken Tonight in the 80s

Have you ever tried to make traditional Indian Chapatis Dirk?

My ex-father-in-law showed me how to make them but you need ghee to cook them to get the best result.

Far better with curries then roti's.

Maybe it's just me, but am I the only one seeing cock and balls covered in "white" sauce in that photo?

A hint for the good lady?
