Hot spices, like cayenne, have a very minor increase in metabolism. nothing you should rely on though.

And, 'spicy fried chicken'? its FRIED! no it's not good, even if it's extra spicy.
 
Haha Gotcha. I always asked my buddies like how u so skinny when u eat more then me? They say asian food is spicy it helps the metabolism. I am half asian so i have a taste for spices too but, not like 100% asians. Wont rely on it thats for sure.
 
Dunno about the metabolism but too much spice can wreak havoc with the gut. Not all spices irritate the gut but the main sauce of spicy "heat", chillies do. Too much will reduce your guts capability to absorb essentiel nutrients.

A little bit tho can make otherwise bad tasting "health" foods taste palatable. So like most things, in moderation.
 
Everyone is always looking for some 'trick'. The secret is true lifestyle change....not fads.
