Recipe Description:
Pan (non) fried chicken gets a big pop of flavor with a simple curry dry rub. Curry powder is a mixture of fragrant spices that vary greatly from region to region. Curry is often used in South Asian cuisines. Most curry blends include turmeric, cumin, coriander and chili peppers with the addition of other spices. There are many delicious curry blends available in the spice section of your local market. Some curries have a hint of sweetness while others can have varying degrees of heat. Experiment and find a curry blend you like for an easy way to add flavor to many dishes.
