How to Make Harlem Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, gently melt 4 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce. Whisk until well combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of cayenne powder, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1/2 cup of water. Whisk until smooth.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a boil.
- Boil for 1-2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely for at least 1 hour (or refrigerate for longer).
- Place 6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or container.
- Pour the cooled Harlem Sauce over the chicken, ensuring each breast is coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Grill chicken for 10-12 minutes per side, or bake uncovered for 20 minutes, basting occasionally with extra sauce.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- **Optional:** For extra sauce, boil the remaining marinade for 5 minutes and brush onto the chicken while grilling or baking.
