• Heat your grill to medium/high heat and place the chops and the lemon half on the grill. Grill chops on each side for 3-4 minutes until an internal temp reaches at least 130- 135F for medium rare. Squeeze the grilled (hot) lemon over your chops with tongs before transfering to a plate.Tip: Grill the sides for a couple of minutes too if your chops are extra thick.
• Remove from the grill and tent with foil for about 10 minutes to rest. Serve.See post for serving suggestions.

Tips & FAQ's:

Here's the secret to tender lamb chops; Set a timer for three minutes per side. Don't try to "eyeball" grilled lamb or it'll get overdone every time.

And, use a meat thermometer. You don't have to eat your lamb rare but if the lamb chops are cooked to "well done" it gets chewy. 135F-145F is best.

The final secret - make sure you use enough salt. Without salt lamb tends to have that gamey taste I hear people complain about. ( I was a confirmed lamb hater until I discovered this trick).
