Hello M2L It's difficult to say, without more context; but as it stands, it seems to relate to meat that has been cooked until it's tender, with a lightly spicy sauce or seasoning. Mrp

Hi MrP,
I believe you're right. There'is not much context with the ad.
So, 'kick' here means itty-bitty spicy? Is it a common usage?

Fairly common. If a drink has a "kick", it relates to the alcohol content; if food has a "kick", it usually relates to chilli, cayenne, paprika, etc.
