Lamb Chops

Season thawed lamb chops with any desired herbs and spices. Preheat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of cooking oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the lamb chops to the pan and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference and the thickness of the chops. Avoid moving or flipping the lamb chops too frequently to allow a golden crust to form.

Use tongs to flip the chop instead of piercing it with a fork, as this can cause the juices to escape. Once the lamb chops reach the desired doneness (see internal temperature guide below), transfer them to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Remove the thawed lamb chops from their packaging and season as desired. Lightly oil the air fryer basket and add the lamb chops. Air fry for 7-9 minutes for medium-rare, flipping once halfway through. Once the lamb chops reach the desired doneness (see internal temperature guide below), transfer them to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Your lamb chops will continue to cook and rise a further 5-10°F while resting To accurately check the temperature, measure with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat. Below are the internal temperatures for lamb by doneness:

Medium-rare: 145°F
Medium: 160°F
Well done: 170°F

Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on the method of preparation and your desired degree of doneness. Test for doneness with a meat thermometer.
