Red chile powder is often included in chicken feed to give deeper
coloration to the yolks, and that does work as advertised.  But neither
eggs nor meat pick up any chile heat.  I think I recall from my time on the
farm long ago that the chicken (skin) doesn't pick up any significant
coloration from chile feed additive, though, only the yolks.
