Might be good to rinse them. A soak over night helps them keep their form and consistency when cooking. But a quick boil and rest can do the same. Or you can just cook them and not care that the skin will burst and they'll look a little wonky (beans more than lentils). Regardless of prep, simmering until tender is all thats necessary - no need to have a hard rolling boil.
Chick peas don't require much seasoning as their flavor is distinctive; lentils will benefit from chicken or vegetable stock.
