Heat a wok or large cast iron pan over a moderate to high heat. Brown the chicken pieces with sesame oil in batches, and push it aside.

Mix in the rice wine, light soy sauce, sugar, and the dark soy sauce. Stir all the ingredients together, reduce the heat and continue stirring for about 5 minutes. Toss in the basil leaves, and cook for another minute. Serve immediately with some steamed rice.
