• Prepare a grill with glowing coals or preheat the broiler.
• On the oiled rack of the grill or on a broiler pan in the broiler, grill or broil the chops 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook lamb chops on the preheated grill until browned and only slightly pink in the centers, brushing with marinade frequently, about 6 minutes per side.
