A bizarre social media trend dubbed “NyQuil chicken” or “sleepy chicken” appears to be making the rounds online, prompting questions and warnings from many people.

As early as 2017, posts shared on Reddit show people cooking chicken in the cough and cold medicine, sometimes referring to it as “sleepytime” or “bedtime” chicken. It’s unclear why these videos gained popularity on social media, but they made their way onto TikTok in 2021.

Now, the purported “challenge” is trending again on social media. It’s clearly a stomach-turning stunt meant to generate views. But is cooking chicken in NyQuil actually dangerous, like some people online claim?

Our VERIFY team looked into it and found yes, cooking chicken in NyQuil is dangerous.

I urge every single person who thinks this is cool to go ahead and do this challenge. Please! For all that is holy please do this for us.

Chicken + Nyquil + You = More oxygen and space for the rest of us

We thank you all for your sacrifice and may your parents forever be proud of what they raised.

I think it should be mandatory from now on if you do something stupid like this you should be fined or arrested for a weekend or something? Why the hell would anyone do this challenge let alone make up a challenge like this. The person who made this should also be punished, if y'all wanna be stupid your gonna be treated as such.

They should find the influencers and charge them to be honest for public endangerment or something.
