Harlem Sauce image

This is an excellent marinade and basting sauce for chicken, either on the grill or baked in the oven. I have perfected this over the years since I first happened upon a slightly different recipe from the US South - versions of the same are popular in the New York area, hence the name "Harlem Sauce". It's good soul food! I'd love...

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 c unsalted margarine (half-stick)
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp tomato sauce
4 Tbsp lemon juice
4 Tbsp white vinegar
2 tsp yellow mustard
2 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp cayenne powder
1 tsp minced garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium sauce pot, gently melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  • 2. Add ketchup, tomato sauce, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and hot sauce - stir or whisk to combine.
  • 3. Add cayenne powder, garlic, parsley, onion powder, and water - stir or whisk to combine.
  • 4. Raise heat to Medium-High and cook until boiling. Boil for about a minute or two.
  • 5. Turn down heat to Medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  • 6. Take sauce pot off heat and let cool for 1 hour.

  • 8. Grill for 10-12 minutes each side, or bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes after cooking. (Double cooking time if using bone-in chicken).
