Q How do you prevent food from going soggy in a chaffing dish.

A: Bree, I think you are just going to have to choose a different recipe. Some foods are suitable for holding in a warmed container (which is all a chafing dish is), while others aren't. Something that is crispy or has a crust is inevitably going to get a little soft. Something that is soft to begin with, such as chicken in a sauce, can be kept warm for serving without a noticable change.
