In case you haven’t already come across it, there’s a new trend that goes by the name of ‘Sleepy Chicken’, and wait till we tell you what in the world the bizarre ordeal is all about.
Think along the lines of images and footage of people indulging in the bizarre act of boiling chicken as a remedy to treat both flu and colds.
While it doesn’t sound too dangerous to so many, doctors claim that it can actually have devastating consequences on one’s health.
For this reason, they’re asking the world to steer clear of it because they strongly believe that it poses a major threat to a person’s overall wellbeing. But what exactly does this trend encompass that makes it so hazardous for health?
Well, the truth is that the sleepy chicken trend has users making their very own chicken dish that is braised in a remedy of cold and flu. Do you get it now?
Yes, the fad calls the recipe ‘Nyquil chicken’ which is another name for a sleepy chicken. Moreover, it’s the UK equivalent of Nyquil which is a product that’s close to Night Nurse.
Doctors claim that is so wrong to braise chicken in any product that has been designed to treat your flu and cold, especially as people are using it as a solution to braise their meat!
Yes, horrifying videos of the trend are going viral with people clicking images of their bird while cooking with a box or bottle of medicine nearby.
“When you cook your meat like that, you boil off all of the water and alcohol, and leaves the chicken filled with a very high and dangerous amount of drugs,” revealed a clinical professor in the field of medicine.
