📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add lamb chops to a resealable plastic bag. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, stir together parsley, oregano, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, honey, and chile flakes. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl. Pour the remaining marinade over the lamb. Seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade into the lamb chops. Refrigerate at least one hour or overnight. Add the olives to the remaining unused marinade; stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3
Remove the lamb and olive mixture from the refrigerator ⏱️ 30 minutes before grilling. Meanwhile, pre-heat the grill to medium-high heat, 400° to 450°. Oil the grill grates well. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and scrape off any excess marinade. Discard the remaining marinade.
4
Grill the lamb chops uncovered until grill marks appear, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes for rib chops, or 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes for loin chops. Turn the chops, and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meat registers 135°, 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes for rib chops, or 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes for loin chops. Cover cooked lamb chops with foil, and let rest ⏱️ 5 minutes.
5
Stir the olive mixture to recombine the ingredients; spoon over the lamb just before serving.
