Chops

Goat chops are bone-in slices from loin, rib, or shoulder—grill or pan pieces that cook fast and show goat’s sweet-savoury character. Loin and rib chops are tender; shoulder chops need lower heat or a short braise. Young kid chops are mild; older animal chops can be firmer and more aromatic. Brine or marinate lean chops briefly, cook to medium, and rest. Do not treat as fatty lamb—goat often needs oil or a wet baste. Serve with herb sauces, chilli pastes, or yoghurt.
