It’s been well established that dudes rock, but sometimes, some dudes can rock a little too hard, as one man on Instagram is currently demonstrating with his plan to eat raw chicken on a daily basis.

On an Instagram account fittingly titled “Raw Chicken Experiment,” a man known only as John has begun documenting his experiment in which he consumes raw chicken every day to see how long he can last until he gets a stomach ache.


Oddly enough, this isn’t even his first foray into raw meat consumption. In 2022, John went viral for his Instagram where he documented his experiences eating all manner of raw meats — from beef, to kangaroo, to what John describes as the weirdest, veal brain — making it to at least 181 days before stopping. To enhance the experience, he recorded himself eating the raw meat outside Whole Foods, because it “adds to the comedy of it.” And probably turned at least a dozen shoppers who had the misfortune of seeing him in action vegetarian.



For the raw chicken experiment, John has been washing the chicken down with raw egg yolks, because he’s a big believer in consuming the chicken at every point in its life cycle. As part of his update on Day Six, John, sitting next to a giant jug of raw eggs, wrote, “So far I’m feeling about 8/10. No tummy ache yet. I did just chug 32 eggs tho and I’m not sure I’ve ever been this full. I wanted to go for the full 50, but I am just not that guy I guess.”


Many of the comments are in the same vein of “Why the hell are you doing this to yourself,” to which the obvious answer is, “For the bit,” but there are also a surprising number of supportive comments from people who want to see how long this experiment can last. One commenter even suggested John eat a whole raw chicken, “legs and all.” So stay tuned for that disturbing visual, probably.
