Ingredients
- 6–8 lamb chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2–3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Set up dredging station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs mixed with milk in another, and the breadcrumb mixture in a third.
- Coat the lamb chops: Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels. Dredge each chop in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F / 175°C).
- Fry the chops: Fry lamb chops for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked to your preferred doneness. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Drain & serve: Remove chops from the oil, place on a paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
If you want, I can also give you a crispy oven-baked version of these lamb chops so they’re less oily but still crunchy. Would you like me to add that?
