Add lamb pieces to the marinade and coat thoroughly.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Remove lamb from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Brush grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Place lamb on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and cooked through.

Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
