- Using paper towels, pat dry chops and discard any shards or bone fragments.

Fry or grill lamb in 2 batches for 3-4 minutes each side, depending on thickness until done to your liking. (Usually, at 3 minutes per side they are medium, and at 4 minutes they are medium-well.)
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.Sprinkle with a little extra dried oregano for added flavour and a little extra lemon juice (optional).

Tips:
- To ensure the lamb chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The ideal temperature for medium-rare lamb chops is 135°F (57°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the lamb chops by cutting into one. The meat should be pink and juicy in the center.
- To prevent the lamb chops from drying out, baste them with the marinade or melted butter every few minutes while grilling.
- To add a smoky flavor to the lamb chops, grill them over a charcoal fire.
- Serve the lamb chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
