Tips:
- To achieve a crispy crust on your pork chops, ensure they are patted dry before cooking. This will help the spices adhere and prevent the chops from steaming.
- A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is ideal for searing the pork chops, as it retains heat evenly and creates a beautiful sear.
- For optimal flavor, let the pork chops rest after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
- The honey pecan sauce is versatile and can be used as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce. Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less cornstarch or water.
- Garnish the pork chops with fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro for a vibrant presentation.
