Equipment

Ingredients

8 lamb chops about 1 inch thick
1/4 cup (59 ml) olive oil
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons (4 g) fresh rosemary finely chopped
1 tablespoon (7 g) fresh thyme finely chopped
1 teaspoon (2 g) lemon zest
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon (6 g) kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Place the lamb chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F 200°C).
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more done. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (145°F 65°C for medium-rare).
Once the lamb chops are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.

Notes

Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels before applying the marinade to help it adhere better and create a nice sear on the grill. For a more intense flavor, marinate the lamb chops for longer, up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Use a meat thermometer to accurately gauge the doneness of the lamb chops. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F. Let the grilled lamb chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Don't overcrowd the grill. Leave enough space between the lamb chops to ensure proper air circulation and even cooking.
