For optimal flavor, marinate the pork chops overnight. Be sure to bring the reserved marinade to a boil to eliminate any potential bacteria before using it as a basting sauce. If you don't have a grill, these pork chops can be easily broiled in the oven. Place them on a baking sheet and broil for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. A meat thermometer is your best friend when cooking pork! Overcooked pork can be dry, so aim for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for juicy and tender results. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a touch of heat. Serve the grilled pork chops with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite grain for a complete and satisfying meal.

Succulent pork loin chops infused with bright citrus and herbaceous notes, kissed by the flames of the grill. A simple marinade transforms these chops into a steak-worthy delight. Broiling is also a fantastic option for those without a grill!
