Thai Basil Chicken

Can you say HOT!
We had some problems with this dish but i think i got them worked out. Besides the dish being a little on the too spicy side of things the flavors are great and it's not to hard.

2 tablespoons chili oil (I have no idea where to find this i used veg oil worked great)

2 cloves garlic
3 hot chile peppers
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
5 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 cup fresh mushrooms
1 cup chopped onions
1 bunch fresh basil leaves

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the garlic and chile peppers until golden brown. Mix in chicken and sugar, and season with garlic salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, but not done.


Stir oyster sauce into the skillet. Mix in mushrooms and onions, and continue cooking until onions are tender and chicken juices run clear. Remove from heat, and mix in basil. Let sit 2 minutes before serving.

Notes:
The question was once asked "What makes Peppers Hot?"
Then the answer was given: The hottest part of a pepper is the placental material surrounding the seeds. The seeds themselves are not hot, although capsaicin typically gets on the surface of the seeds from contact with the surrounding tissue.
In other words if you don't want this dish to be overly spicy Remove the seeds and some of the placental material from the peppers before adding them to the dish.
