Spicy Thai Basil Chicken fried rice has the aromatic flavors of Basil and the sauces that glaze the chicken. It has a blend of spicy, sweet, and minty flavors of Basil. The dish gets even better when it’s really spicy. I have added many chilies to this recipe, but it’s totally up to you to adjust the flavors according to your taste. The most amazing fact is it just doesn’t much time to prepare this. It takes less than 30 mins to prepare this recipe and it’s finger-licking good.
