Both grilling and frying are excellent methods for cooking lamb chops. Grilling imparts a smoky flavor and is great for outdoor cooking while frying in a skillet provides a crispy crust and is ideal for indoor cooking.
What Should I Do If My Lamb Chops Are Too Fatty?
Trim excess fat from the lamb chops before cooking. Leaving a small amount of fat can enhance flavor, but too much fat can lead to greasiness. Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the excess.
