- Turn several times with your hands to make sure that all the lamb is covered.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, turning every now and then.
- Remove from the fridge about an hour before grilling in order to return lamb to room temperature.

- Grill the lamb on the center of the barbecue grill for about 17 minutes over a medium heat for medium rare, 23 minutes for medium.
- Don\'t worry about the flare−ups as it will give the lamb a delicious, crispy skin.
