Loin
Goat loin is the premium back muscle—fine-grained and tender, suited to roasting whole, cutting into chops, or slicing into medallions. It is milder than leg and shoulder, with enough character to still read as goat. Lean cover means careful heat and a rest. High-heat sear and gentle finish, or reverse-sear thicker roasts. Do not cook past medium if juiciness matters. Herb crusts and light marinades complement without masking.
