How to reduce spiciness of chicken ?

Question

Hi,
I have prepared a chicken (baked) using spices and it came out too spicy.
What can I do to the chicken now to reduce the spiciness ?
I don't mean serving it with a side like rice, I mean putting it in some souce or cooking it some more... Something of that sort...

Answer 1

Can you wipe any of the spice off by rubbing the chicken with a damp paper towel?

Answer 2

Is it the meat or just the skin. If you didn't marinate it , it shouldn't have penetrated the meat..There isn't a thing you can do if it has penetrated the meat. If you soak it in a sauce it will only add to the spice you already have. If, in fact, it is into the meat you could always call in some Cajun folks, they like a lot of spice..Any leftovers you can ship to me. I think the rice you mentioned, as a side dish, might just be enough to mellow it out..Don't serve it with wine. I think that that would make your palate cleaner and enhance the spice you are trying to mute..

Answer 3

oh depends on wht kind of chicken, the chineese use sugar to help neutralize the burn, so get some sugar and give it a light coat, it will be a little sweet, but it will reduch the spice by a large amount, DO NOT COOK IT MORE, that will push the spice deeper into the food

Answer 4

Believe it or not, a tablespoon of sugar mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar, lemon juice or lime juice will temper a dish that's too spicy. Longer cooking (or refrigerating overnight) can also reduce the spiciness.

Answer 5

If you have a sauce to put over it, try adding a lot of sauce. If you are going to re-heat it, you can always wash it off with water and re heat it.

Answer 6

If it has skin, peel the skin off. But washing under warm water ought to help tremendously, w/ or w/o skin.
