Spicy Savory Thai Basil Chicken


When I recall Thai cuisine, the dishes that were of the top of mind were pineapple rice, green curry, tom yam soup, however, Thai Basil Chicken is one of my favourite Thai food! Thai Basil Chicken has a distinctive Thai flavour that comes from the sauces used during preparation, the oyster sauce gives the dish a very rich salty flavour and the spiciness from the small chilli padi add a little oomphs to the dish! This Thai dish is usually served with rice and a sunny side-up :D
