Notes

  • Lamb should marinate for at least 1 hour up to overnight before cooking. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes at room temperature so it cooks evenly after marinating and right before cooking.
  • Pair with our herb garlic butter for dipping after cooking.
  • For the best lamb chops, always use a meat thermometer and slice against the grain.
  • Try using this lamb chops marinade for other proteins, like pork, chicken, or even steak.
