While the lamb is marinating, light your Kamado Joe and add the Joetisserie. You will only need a small amount of charcoal so roughly fill the fire bowl halfway. If you have a divider, only put the charcoal on one side. Bring the temperature to 400-425°F.

Place the lamb in a large sealable bag or container with the marinade reserving at least 1/4 cup. This will be used for basting. Close the container and toss to coat evenly. Marinade for at least one hour at room temperature.
