I got a ton of some super chilli chicken wings for free.
being short of money what is the best to cook them in source or something that lowers the heat. I like a little bit of Spice but not this much.

First of all, if it's literally "a ton" no one can help you.
If it's just "a lot" and, unlike me, your heat resistance is low, then introduce Greek yoghurt or creme fraiche into the cooking process to cool the heat.

You could wash/soak them to remove most of the marinade.

Degsy, all the current health warnings are that you should never wash raw chicken.
How do I know this?
My (ex nurse and hygiene fanatic) wife rollocked me recently for washing and drying supermarket chicken breasts.
I've even seen health notices in farm shops with a big red cross against the chicken symbol - "Never wash chicken".
The rationale is that the splashes will spread bacteria in the kitchen.

When she's not around I wash and dry packaged breasts with kitchen roll

A few paranoid busy bodies doesn't constitute 'all'.

I've never washed raw chicken. I figure (maybe irrationally) that cooking it is gonna kill any bacteria clinging to it.

Well said degsy. There are far too many people around who believe that not cooking chicken for 14 hours and/or handling it with gloves will instantly kill you and everyone you've ever met.

I reheat old rice too, by all accounts I should have been dead years ago.

You're the first person ever to call my wife a "paranoid busybody".
Still ....

I saw the sign a few days back on display in a butcher's shop.

Ive never washed chicken, I reheat rice and often only reheat things until they are mouth hot, not 'piping hot' as I dont like really hot food. I also eat things way past their eat by date.

The only times Ive had food poisoning is from marks and spencers coleslaw (twice, I obviously didnt learn the first time) and a vegetarian pizza in Spain.

The OP is trying to de-spice some chicken. Washing off a spicy marinade may help in that regard.

I buy fresh chicken breasts and freeze them. Sometimes when defrosted they come out with a coating of 'slime' or some liquid. I wash that off.

Neither are to do with killing bacteria.

I do that too and haven't died yet (to my knowledge).

Same goes for putting salt in my pasta cooking water

Wash the chilli off and spray some anti bacterial spray about the kitchen after just in case.

I saw that ad on a billboard on Tesco today.

I'm too lazy to wash chicken anyway so I already don't bother.
