After having a chat with an American who spends half of his year living in Krapoa Gai as served in Thailand Thailand, I got inspired to find a recipe for Krapoa Gai when he told me that was his favorite dish. Ironically, I shared, "It is mine too." He quickly let me know there was likely to be a gap in the presentation and taste when it comes to basil as the dish is prepared in Thailand versus the United States.  If traveling to Thailand expect much more basil.

Thai Basil Chicken is very easy to make, and has a distinctive Thai flavor that comes through due to the sauces used in preparation. The oyster sauce and soy sauce give it a rich salty taste, while the sweetness of the black soy sauce takes the edge off the saltiness, as well as giving the dish a lovely darkened brown color. This Thai chicken dish can be found all over Thailand, from street vendors to fine restaurants, and is commonly served over rice, sometimes with a fried egg on top.
