US health officials are warning people of the dangers of cooking raw chicken with NyQuil and other cold medicines.

The warning comes in response to a trend on social media from January 2022 that has re-emerged, with social media platforms such as TikTok deleting search results for 'Nyquil chicken'.

US correspondent Charles Feldman told Michael Genovese, in for Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast, cooking chicken with the over-the-counter medicine began as a joke online before the technique took off.  

"Did you get served a chicken dinner and look at your chicken cutlet and think, 'you know that chicken looks like maybe it had a bad head cold'?" Feldman asked Gena.
