For best results, use fresh oregano and high-quality olive oil. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. Don't overcrowd the grill; work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking. A meat thermometer is helpful to ensure the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness. Medium is 130-135°F. Serve immediately with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
