Coarsely crush the garlic and chilies in a mortar.
Heat the oil in a wok over high heat and fry the garlic-chili paste for 30 seconds.
Add the ground chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes, until crumbly and cooked.
Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar, then stir for 2 minutes.
Add the basil and turn off the heat once the leaves wilt.
Fry the eggs in a separate pan for 2 minutes, keeping the edges crisp.
Spoon the basil chicken over the rice and serve with the fried eggs.
💡 Tip: Adding the basil just before turning off the heat lets the leaves release aroma without darkening.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot over steamed jasmine rice with a crispy-edged fried egg on top.
