For an even deeper flavor, consider using a high-quality, artisanal root beer.
Marinating the pork chops overnight will result in a more tender and flavorful dish.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can also cook the pork chops in a skillet on the stovetop or bake them in the oven.
Adjust the amount of chipotle hot sauce to your preference. For a milder flavor, use a smaller amount or omit it altogether.
Resting the pork chops before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
