BBQ Lamb Chops
Lamb chops are one of the most prized types of meat, highly valued in many cultures. In the Mediterranean region, especially in Greece and Italy, lamb is grilled with spicy marinades to enhance its natural flavor. It has also become increasingly popular in American BBQ culture, where traditional BBQ techniques are used to deepen the flavors. The smoky BBQ sauce perfectly complements the flavor of the lamb, while the spices add a rich character to the dish. Tip: The secret to perfect lamb chops is quick cooking and resting - do not leave them on the grill for too long, as they may dry out!

Preparation Steps
1
Remove the lamb chops from the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
2
In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. This will be your dry rub.
3
Drizzle the lamb chops with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle with the dry rub. Massage it into the meat to ensure it adheres well.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C). If using a charcoal grill, let the charcoal burn until completely glowing.
5
Place the lamb chops on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. For medium-rare chops, the internal temperature should be around 135-140°F (57-60°C).
6
During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the chops with Worcestershire sauce and BBQ sauce for extra flavor.
7
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
