3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place the chops on the grill and cook for 6–7 minutes.
Flip the chops and baste with the maple syrup. Cook for 6–7 minutes more, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F on a digital meat thermometer, basting occasionally.
Let the chops rest for at least 5 minutes.
Serve, garnished with the minced chives.
