          Thai Basil Chicken (video)

          Thai Basil Chicken smells delicious, is easy to cook and prepares in under 20 minutes. Fresh Basil is a must when preparing this savory/spicy delightful meal.  To bring that comfort feeling to this experience, it is recommended partnering this entrée with freshly made Jasmine Rice. Prepared with fresh ingredients, this dish is healthier when compared to the traditional types or store-bought versions. The recipe for the sauce is so savory; you will find yourself putting it on your rice as you bring satisfaction to the hunger within.

          Check out the video to see how to make this dish in a snap. Recipe is also provided below.

          INGREDIENTS

          This meal is also perfect for people with high blood pressure, heart problems, other health conditions and controlled portions can help us lose some of that weight that keeps boomeranging back. If going the healthy route, Thai Basil Chicken is also well partnered with brown rice. 

          Fresh grown Thai Basil is an easy addition to your garden and can be enjoyed with a wide range of home cooked meals. I love my fresh Thai Basil with pizza, noodles, salads, rice and soups. One of my favorite things to do is add a hand full of the leaves to my homemade chicken broth and watch my family gravitate to the kitchen and start asking “when will it be ready mom?” Cooking with wonderfully aromatic items like Thai Basil will create those childhood memories while establishing a bond for the family that will survive and who knows, it may even carry to the next generation. This particular dish has a heavenly aroma during cooking and before the first bite. Treat your family to time well spent with this quick and easy dish.

            Korean Fried Chicken

            Korean Fried Chicken (KFC for short), are succulent little wings that are so crunchy and juicy even before they are covered with delicious sauce. These sticky, sweet, slightly salty wings pack a bit of heat and will having you literally picking every last bit of met off the bones as you transition into you own fulfilling Foodlicious meal experience. This style of KFC is double fried which is the secret to making them so crispy that they remain crunchy for hours after cooking. If you like fried wings, you’ll will love KFC double fried wings for sure.

            When I first started cooking fried chicken, I could never get them this crispy. Once I started exploring different cultures for methods of cooking, I came up with this recipe. I highly recommend giving this a try and adding another notch to the list of quality items in your meal repertoire. Everyone in my family loves the homemade Asian inspired KFC just about as much as our local favorite wings place; best part the cost is way less when made fresh at home.

            First fry. Cook for 12-16 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Then remove the wings and transfer them to a baking rack.

            Second fry. Return the wings to the pot of oil and cook for additional 8-10 minutes or until deeply golden brown.
