Preheat an outdoor grill to High (450 to 500 degrees F (230 to 260 degrees C)). Scrape off excess marinade from lamb chops, and discard remaining marinade in bag. Sprinkle chops evenly with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Place lamb chops on oiled grates; grill, covered, turning once or twice, until browned and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of lamb chop registers 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare, about 4 minutes for rib chops and about 6 minutes for loin chops, or to desired degree of doneness. Carefully turn lamb chops with tongs to sear edges, as desired. Transfer lamb chops to a platter; let rest 5 minutes.
