What Are Lamb Chops?

Lamb chops also known as cutlets, are the best part and the most expensive cuts of lamb. They are so delightful when prepared well. 

The cut is taken from the ribs or the rack, making it easy to be separated and served individually when cooked in the oven, grilled, slow cooked, or in the air fryer. 

If I were to have a favorite meat choice, lamb would have to it. It is succulent, easy to make, high in protein, and very delicious. It pairs well with salads or rice dishes. Not to mention, great on the grill.

How Do You Know When Lamb Chops Are Cooked?

I recommend using a digital instant-read meat thermometer to determine when your chops are cooked to your desired doneness.  

The chops are rare at 120°F

Medium rare between 125°F and 130°F

For well done lamb, the temperature will reach 145°F and higher.

Can Lamb Chops Be Pink In The Middle?

Yes, lamb chops can be pink in the middle.

Cook’s Tips:

• Make sure that the lamb pieces are cut uniform size.  When the rack is cut in even size, this assure that the meat is cooked evenly. 
• Season Liberally.  Adjust the measurement in accordance to your taste.
• Don’t Crowd the Pan. Overcrowding the pan may cause the meat to not cook evenly.
• Bake To Perfection.  Bake the meat in accordance to your level of consistency. Cook the lamb until reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit
