Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the pork chops rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat tender.
• For extra flavor, you can marinate the pork chops in the spice mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the pork chops on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven.
• Adjust the grilling time based on the thickness of the pork chops to ensure they are cooked through but still juicy.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover grilled pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the pork chops in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Serve the grilled pork chops with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
