The loin chop comes from one side of the lumbar area of the lamb known as the saddle and is almost an entire muscle. You can usually find lamb loin chops more affordable than lamb chops or a lamb rack.
This has been my go-to when I’m craving lamb. Same delicious taste of lamb for half the price. I purchased my lamb loin chops at Sam’s Club for about $6 a pack.
We decided to stay local for Christmas last year. And since I was only feeding 3 people, I decided to make a small spread and my Jerk lamb loin chops were on the menu.

How to make Lamb Loin Chops?
These jerk lamb chops are really easy to make. You begin by cleaning the lamb with water, vinegar and lime until the water runs clear. Dry the lamb with a paper towel, then add in the green seasoning, jerk marinade, and seasonings. Add the seasoned lamb to a ziplock bag, and marinate overnight.
Take the lamb out at least 30 minutes before cooking, to bring to room temp. In a piping hot cast iron skillet add in butter and sear the lamb on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Finish the lamb in a 350 degree oven until it reaches the internal temperature of 145 degrees OR your preferred doneness.
For the sauce– combine honey bbq sauce, honey, brown sugar and sriracha. Slather the sauce on the lamb and finish cooking in the oven for another 2 minutes.
Top with parsley and serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Can I Make these on the grill?
Absolutely. To achieve a smoky flavor on the grill, simply place the lamb on the grill or smoker and use a meat thermometer to monitor it until it reaches your desired doneness
