  • No Thai meal is complete without rice. It's the true centerpiece of the table in Thailand — and across much of the rest of Asia, too. For many people around the world, Thai food means Thai-style chicken, so here's a recipe that brings the two together. Since we'll cook the chicken a little differently from the classic version, the result is Thai-style chicken skewers with rice. Start with the rice, simmering it in gently boiling water. While it cooks, cut the chicken fillet into pieces. Combine the spices, finely minced garlic, and shredded coconut, moisten the mixture with the oil, and fold it into the chicken. Let it marinate. Drain the cooked rice in a colander, then pack it firmly into a small bowl. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers and grill until cooked through. Invert the bowl of rice onto a plate, and lay a chicken skewer on top of the mound of rice without pulling it off the skewer. Drizzle the rice with soy sauce and garnish with a basil leaf.
