If you don't have a grill or prefer to cook them in the oven, that works too although the flavors you get from the wood chips won't be present but they'll still be delicious!
Traditionally Lamb needs to be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Usually, the chops are best eaten at this temperature which is medium-rare. It is not recommended that you cook them above medium (160 degrees F) as the meat will become chewy. Avoid lamb chops were well done, even though they are still delicious that way, too.
Bake chops at 350°F. Bake for 10-15 minutes for medium well, and less for medium. Remove from oven and top with some parsley or rosemary.
