I am not denying that the chicken became tasty over night. Time in a practical sense has "passed" but what really happened empirically was just a stream of perceptions, one of these perceptions is the story that hours have passed while you were sleeping. There is a subtle distinction, but I get it, its not easy to grok. I struggle with this myself, it's more of an intuition at this point. Imagine to let go of all stories your mind comes up with to make sense of sleep and time, what is left? In that state there is simply no sleep happening, only perception and movement.
