Bourbon Glazed Lamb Chops

Where have these Bourbon Glazed Lamb Chops been all your life?! Pair bourbon, honey, white wine vinegar, and mint with lamb and there will be plenty of finger-licking in the house.

Tips for Cooking Lamb Chops

Cooking these Bourbon Lamb Chops to perfection requires a few key tips. First, choose lamb chops that are thick and have good marbling for a juicy and flavorful result. When seasoning, do so generously with your favorite herbs and spices. To achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior, sear the chops over high heat for a few minutes per side before finishing them in a preheated oven. Lastly, rest the cooked lamb chops for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.

Bourbon Glazed Lamb Chops


  • Author: Michaela Hayes

Description

Make delectable lamb chops right in your own home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt plus more for seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper plus more for seasoning
  • Pinch ground allspice
  • 8 lb lamb chops, cut from 1 rack of lamb
  • 2 tbsp olive oil to prepare grill or grill pan
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint

Instructions

  1. Whisk first six ingredients together to make glaze. Divide into two bowls. May be made up to 1 day ahead.
  2. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper. Prepare a grill with medium heat (or a large grill pan with 1 tbsp oil over medium heat). Brush chops with half of glaze. Cook until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side, glazing frequently. If using a grill pan, cook half the chops, remove chops from skillet and pour off fat (no need to wipe it out). Repeat with remaining 1 tbsp oil and remaining chops.
  3. Stir mint into remaining glaze and drizzle over cooked chops at the table.
