'tempt' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'throat and chill' is the wordplay.
'throat' becomes 'ent' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'chill' becomes 'ice' (icing is a kind of chilling).
'ent'+'ice'='ENTICE'

'with place to treat bad' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
