Has anyone noticed that hot and spicy pieces or wicked wings that have been sitting in the fridge after 1 day seem to get more spicy (hotter) than if they was fresh from the store?
KFC HOT and SPICY gets spicier with age

Sounds like you need to leave it for a week to check the results..
lol I never actually realised that's why but I had noticed when I eat it fresh I am fine but if I reheat leftovers my tummy is upset and I have to try and put out the ring of fire all night… ow ow ow ow ow. I thought it was just because kfc is abit dodgey
The reason spicy food gets spicier after freezing and reheating is because capsaicin (spice chemical) is stored in fats, which don't evaporate during reheating like the water in a food so there is a higher percentage of the spice than in the food before, causing it to be spicer.
