- Total Cooking Time: 40 minutes (5 minutes prep + 20 minutes marinating + 15 minutes cooking)
- Actual Active Time: 10 minutes
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Essential: Lamb chops (Recommended: Buy "Da Zhuang Yuan" New Zealand Imported Lamb French Shoulder Chops on JD, 500g/bag, 3 pieces. Price is 42 RMB when JD has a discount)
- Essential: Black pepper mixed steak seasoning (for laziness)
- Essential: Garlic sauce (Recommended: Chuanwazi brand, also for laziness)
- Essential: Kitchen paper towels
- Optional: Butter (Buy small boxes on JD, one piece per small box)
- Optional: BBQ seasoning
- Optional: Dried basil
- Optional: Air fryer rack (Using a rack uses less oil, cooks the bottom more evenly, but is harder to clean. Not using it allows for better flavor absorption. Choose according to your preference)
Measurements
- 1 Lamb chop: approx. 160g
- Black pepper mixed steak seasoning: 5g
- Garlic sauce: 20g
- Butter: 1 small box (10g) OR BBQ seasoning: 20g
Instructions
- Place the lamb chops in a bowl and rinse with water to remove blood.
- Pat the lamb chops dry with kitchen paper towels. Rub both sides with black pepper mixed seasoning and garlic sauce. Let marinate for 20 minutes.
- Place a rack in a foil bowl. Put the lamb chops on the rack. Sprinkle with dried basil. Place butter (from the small box) or BBQ seasoning on top of the lamb chops. Air fry at 180°C for 10 minutes.
- Flip the lamb chops. Sprinkle with dried basil. Place butter (scoop up from the foil bowl) or BBQ seasoning on top. Air fry at 180°C for 5 minutes (you can add a bit more time based on personal preference; this time is set to avoid burning).
Additional Notes
- It is recommended to buy an air fryer with good temperature control, otherwise, the food might burn.
