These lamb chops are perfectly seasoned with a flavorful marinade and make an impressive dinner for your family or guests. AIR FRYER LAMB CHOPS RECIPE Air Fryer lamb chops make cooking lamb easy! Lamb chops are an underrated meat for sure. I think that in the course of a normal life, many Americans probably don't eat lamb very often. This is likely because it's on the expensive side, and we just don't really know how to cook it properly. Air Fryer Lamb Chops are simple to prepare in the air fryer. They cook up similar to how you'd make Steak in the air fryer. Seasoned with a savory marinade, brown and delicious on the outside and cooked to your preference on the inside, you'll be hooked on air fryer lamb chops after you've made this dish once. INGREDIENTS IN AIR FRYER LAMB CHOPS Lamb Chops - You can choose, or ask your butcher for, 1 inch thick chops cut from either the leg, loin, or rib of the animal. Olive Oil - The marinade for the chops starts with olive oil to add richness. Red Wine Vinegar - Adds a savory, tangy note, and starts tenderizing the meat. Garlic - Minced fresh garlic goes so well with meats. Rosemary - Fresh rosemary is the star of this flavorful marinade. Kosher Salt - Adds the perfect amount of seasoning to the meat. Black Pepper - I like to grind this fresh to give a small bit of heat. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and I will get back to you ASAP! HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER LAMB CHOPS Gather all ingredients and measure each ingredient.In a large bowl or zipper bag, combine olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the lamb and toss to coat, rubbing the marinade into the meat. Cover and seal and marinate in the refrigerator as directed. Preheat your air fryer. Add lamb chops to the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook as directed in the recipe below. Repeat with remaining chops. Allow chops to rest for five minutes before serving. These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below. WHAT TO SERVE WITH AIR FRYER LAMBCHOPS Air Fryer Lambchops can be a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fancy dish to serve guest for a holiday. This strong flavored meat calls for simple side dishes like vegetables and potatoes so that it can really shine. Try a potato side like Air Fryer Baked Potatoes or Mashed Potatoes for simplicity. Air Fryer Broccoli or Air Fryer Asparagus would be delicious as well. WHAT TEMPERATURE TO COOK LAMB CHOPS Cooking lamb chops is similar to cooking steak, in that you can cook them to your preferred temperature. Use a meat thermometer to test your chops toward the end of cooking. 125F is a rare lamb chop. 135F is medium-rare. 145F will be medium, and anything between 150-160F will be medium-well to well done. ARE LAMB CHOPS GAMEY? Lamb chops can have a gamey flavor, and that is part of their charm. That strong, earthy flavor is not necessarily a bad thing. If you prefer lamb with a less gamey flavor, ask for a cut from the leg of the lamb. This will be more expensive than other cuts, but have a milder flavor. DO I NEED TO PREHEAT MY AIR FRYER? Generally, I don't recommend pre-heating your air fryer because the machine heats up very quickly; quickly enough for most foods. However, I DO recommend pre-heating the air fryer for lamb chops. Why? Because starting with a hot air fryer basket or tray will allow the chops to get a nice browned crust. You'll hear them sizzle when you put them in. The recipe should work in other air fryers. This recipe was created and photographed in a Hamilton Beach Air Fryer If you have an OVEN STYLE air fryer, you may need to add 1-3 minutes of additional cook time. Keep in mind that each air fryer runs differently, it is important to check your food often.
