In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Place the lamb chops in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the lamb chops and ensure each chop is well-coated. Cover the dish if using, or seal the bag.
Refrigerate the lamb chops for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to enhance the flavors.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F or 230°C).
Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and allow them to come to room temperature while the grill heats.
Once the grill is hot, place the lamb chops on the grate. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the lamb chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute.
Serve the grilled lamb chops with your choice of sides, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh salad.
