Not grilling lately but for pan frying, I take them out to
thaw in the fridge overnight. Take them out to warm up
an hour before cooking and coated with Woos sauce.

Then I season them right before searing in the pan.
seasoning is - kosher salt, cracked pepper, a little
garlic powder and some basil all pressed in on both
sides.
