Notes
- The first marinade tenderises the meat and builds the base flavour. Marinate for at least 1 hour for best results.
- The second marinade is to build on the spices and flavour layers. Marinate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
- You can also prepare & marinate the lamb chops beforehand and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. To cook the lamb chops, simply defrost in the fridge and cook within 24 hours.
- It is recommended to preheat the air fryer before cooking. This is because it can give the meat a little sear and also ensures that the meat is being cooked straightaway.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer. When cooking the lamb chops, line them up in one layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if need to. This is to ensure that the meat is cooked evenly.
- Please note that cooking times may differ depending on the thickness of your lamb chops.
