Arrange chops on wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet & freeze until firm, 30 - 60 minutes. DON'T FREEZE LONGER THAN 1 HOUR OR THEY WILL COOK UNEVENLY! SOFTENED BUTTER: Combine 2 tbsp butter, sugar & pepper in a bowl & set aside. FIRM BUTER: Mix remaining 2 tbsp butter, chives, mustard & lemon zest in another bowl & refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.

Set cooking grate in place, cover & open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. GAS GRILL: Turn all burners to high, cover & heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave burners on high.
