"If you've enjoyed Thai Basil Chicken at your local Thai/Asian restaurants and eateries, try this wonderful homemade recipe! Once all your fresh ingredients are ready, this dish cooks up in just minutes. Basil chicken is one of the most popular Thai dishes, both in Thailand and here in North America, offering spicy flavors that mingle beautifully with the fresh taste of savory basil. There are two key ingredients in this dish you mustn't skip: the fresh basil, of course, and Golden Mountain Sauce. This sauce is often considered a 'secret Thai ingredient', but it's normally available at all Asian food stores that sell Thai ingredients - look for it next to the fish sauce. It's the combination of this sauce with the basil that truly make this dish sing. ENJOY!..."
