  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  9. Remove ribs to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing in between the bones and serving.

FAQ

What temperature do you cook lamb on a gas grill?

The grill should be kept at medium heat, between 350 and 450 degrees, to prevent overcooking. To keep the grill lid down while still keeping a close eye on the cooking process, use an iGrill.

How do you grill lamb?

The internal temperature of the lamb will rise to about 145°, or medium-well, during the 15 minutes of resting. Place the lamb on a grill rack coated with cooking spray, cover the grill, and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until a thermometer reads 135° (medium).

Should you grill lamb?

The most expensive cuts of lamb, known as lamb chops or cutlets, are also the most flavorful and tender. They are removed from the ribs of the animal and cooked one at a time, usually over a grill or a barbecue.
