My family loves Thai Food especially Thai Basil Chickem or Pad Kra Pao.<\/h4>\n

It is one of the top choices when we are deciding where to eat out.<\/h4>\n

And….<\/h4>\n

Whenever we do go to a Thai restaurant, Pad Kra Pao (Basil Chicken) is always ordered.<\/h4>\n

Pad Kra Pao is one of the most popular Thai Street foods. It consists of chicken stir-fried with basil and chilies, served over a bed of white rice, topped with an egg.<\/h4>\n

I tried my best to get my hands on the Holy Basil, the backbone of the recipe but unfortunately, I could not find it. So ended up improvising with what I found at the Asian Supermarket near me.<\/h4>\n

I also tried the recipe with different kinds of chilies and I can comfortably say whatever version you use, it will work but if you ask me, Thai and Serrano work best.<\/h4>\n

Spicy Thai Basil Chicken is such a fast and forgiving dish, that no matter what you do, once you have all the right ingredients, you cannot mess up.<\/h4>\n

Lastly, a word….<\/h4>\n

Make sure to prepare your white\/steamed rice ahead of time as from personal experience it is not fun, rather frustrating and disappointing that you have an amazing skillet of aromatic and flavorful chicken but you have to wait since the rice is not done yet!<\/h4>\n
