Morphology

burnin' = burn (transparent) = burn + in'

Adjectival/participle use ('causing a burning or stinging sensation') is a direct extension of 'burn' + '-ing' and is readily inferable from the components.

Etymology

Burnin' is the casual form of burning, from the simple word burn, which can mean 'to hurt with heat' or 'to sting'; the -in' ending just shows everyday speech. So, if food or your skin is burnin', it feels hot or stings strongly, like a burn or very spicy taste.
