- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves

Instructions
Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, and finely chop the red chilies. Adjust the amount of chili based on your heat preference.
In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies to the hot oil, stirring constantly for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the sliced chicken to the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly golden.
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and stir well to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the fresh Thai basil leaves. Stir until the basil is wilted and fragrant.
Serve the Spicy Thai Chicken hot over steamed jasmine rice.
