Thai Basil Chicken Recipe (Krapao Gai) - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Jaypatel725
Thai Basil Chicken is very easy to make, and has a distinctive Thai flavor that comes through due to the sauces used in preparation. The oyster sauce and soy sauce give it a rich salty taste, while the sweetness of the black soy sauce takes the edge off the saltiness, as well as giving the dish a lovely darkened brown color. This Thai chicken dish can be found all over Thailand, from street vendors to fine restaurants, and is commonly served over rice, sometimes with a fried egg on top.
