How to Make Grilled Chili Rubbed Lamb Chops

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Generously sprinkle the spice mixture over 4 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick), rubbing it evenly into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Prepare a grill with medium-high heat coals, or preheat your broiler to high.
  4. Lightly oil the grill grates or broiler pan. Grill or broil the lamb chops 4 inches from the heat for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.
  5. Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite pepper jelly for a delightful sweet and spicy contrast.
