"Man, I copped a good buzz from that chicken leg"

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is issuing a warning following a social media challenge where people cook chicken in NyQuil or other over-the-counter medications.

"The challenge sounds silly and unappetizing — and it is," the agency posted on its website. "But it could also be very unsafe."

Health officials said boiling a medication can make ingredients much more concentrated and change its properties.
