In a bowl, mix together tumeric, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Set-up a clean plate next to the bowl to make an assembly line. Pat chicken strips dry, and then rub each strip all over with spice mixture. Don't be afraid to get a lot on them, as this will just add to the flavor later. Shake off any excess, and continue coating.

Once all the chicken is coated, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Set-up another plate near skillet. Once hot, add batches of chicken strips in a single layer. Brown on all sides, but don't cook all the way through (just a few minutes each should do). Set cooked strips on a separate plate, and once all are browned, set chicken aside. Keep the skillet on the heat, as you're going to use it next.
