Help Muted Spices After Cooking

[ar3582]

Hi I marinate chicken overnight in spices (cayenne and curry powder) and then pan fry it. After it's cooked I really enjoy the chicken, but I can barely taste the spices. I don't want to create a sauce since I want a crunching coating. Has anyone solved this issue?

Add more spice right before frying. Are you using flour to coat the chicken, or just putting the chicken in the pan, as-is?

Thanks for the reply. I do coat the chicken before pan frying and have used flour or other things and have added more spices, but they tend to get lost in the flour.

I need a way to maximize the spices when cooking. I believe cooking kills the spices. However, I don't want to use the spices after cooking.

put the spices directly onto the chicken before flouring.
