Grilled Lamb Riblets

I love lamb riblets and this is a great way to cook them on the grill--i think it will work for lamb chops too just changing the cooking times. The original recipe called for lemons, but when i made this i was out of lemons so used lime for rubbing on the lamb itself. Recipe source: bon appetit (august 1990)
