These Lamb Lollipops are made with only salt, grilled to perfection, and served with mint jelly on the side if you wish.
This is such an easy recipe if you have a rack of lamb chops and are ready to get your grill on. You can make lamb chops on the grill, cast iron skillet, or even an air fryer. Once you try these lamb chops you will never grill them any other way. Save money and make them at home!
How to separate the chops
Divide the rack of lambs into individual chops by cutting between ribs with smooth, single stroke. If you don’t get through in one stroke, place it back in the seam and try again. Do not saw back and forth.
Grilling the Lamb Lollipops
For best flavor, make sure to salt the lamb chops 2 hours prior to grilling.
Preheat the grill to 400°F.
Place the individual rack of lambs on an aluminum pan and drizzle with olive oil. Cook in the grill for 4-6 minutes (depending on the thickness of the chops) with the lid down.
Take the chops out and place directly on the grill to sear for 1-2 minute on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F.
Allow the lamb chops to rest on a plate covered with aluminum foil for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with mint jelly.
Cast Iron grilling Lamb Lollipops
Salt the lamb chops 2 hours prior to cooking.
Heat ¼ cup oil in a cast iron over high heat until just starting to smoke. Fry for 3-4 minutes, in batches, depending on thickness until done to your liking.
Allow the lamb chops to rest on a plate covered with aluminum foil for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with mint jelly.
