Mix the marinade ingredients and add lamb chops. Marinate covered in the refrigerator for a minimum of four hours or preferably overnight.
For sides, grill up some potatoes and baby carrots.
Scrub the potatoes and place in tin foil. Drizzle generously with olive oil. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Wrap and place on grill. Cook for approximately one hour.
Remove lamb from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking to bring to room temperature. Place on a separate plate to allow the excess marinade to drip off.
Peel the carrots and place in a cast iron pan with enough water to cover them. Add 1 Tbsp of sugar. They will take approximately 20 to 30 minutes to grill.
Grill the lamb chops on a griddle. Add fat side down first for a couple of minutes.
Grill the lamb for approximately 6 minutes on left side and approximately another 6 minutes on the right side. Internal temperature should be 145F for medium temperature.
If cooking grilled carrots, take them out of the cast iron pan and add them to the grill for a few minutes.
Remove everything from grill and allow the lamb to rest for 6 minutes before plating and serving. Cook the optional herb butter while the lamb is resting. Serve the herb butter on the side and drizzle on the grilled carrots.

Preferred method is on a griddle top on the grill.

- Allow to rest for 6 minutes. While resting prepare the warm butter topping. Place butter in small sauce pan on low heat and when melted, add oregano and chives.
- Serve and enjoy! Optional: Drizzle the lamb with the herb butter or serve on the side for dipping!
Sides

- Peal and Place whole carrots in a cast iron pan with enough water to cover the carrots. Add 1 tsp sugar. Grill until soft. Remove from cast iron pan when tender. Place on grill to get grill marks. Optional: Drizzle herb butter over carrots when serving.
