• in a bowl, mix together the sage, rosemary, thyme, fennel seed, sugar, bay leaf, and salt until thoroughly combined. rub both sides of the lamb chops with the herb mixture, and coat them with olive oil. refrigerate several hours or overnight.
• preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
