The ‘Sleepy Chicken’ trend on TikTok has doctors speaking out to let everyone know that it’s a horrible idea. The trend is simple; users are posting videos showing how they cook chicken using Nyquil, with some of the videos showing people boiling raw chicken in the medicine for just five minutes before serving it.
Dr. Aaron Hartman, physician and assistant clinical professor of family medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University says the trend leaves the chicken “saturated with a super concentrated amount of drugs in the meat.” He also notes that cooking chicken for just five minutes could lead to food poisoning.
