Marinate the Lamb Chops:
- Place the lamb chops in a glass dish, ensuring they are arranged evenly.
-
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, dry sherry, soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic cloves, brown sugar, and dark rum. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
-
Marinate the Chops:
- Pour the marinade over the lamb chops, making sure each chop is generously coated.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and penetrate the meat, resulting in tender and flavorful chops.

Braise the Lamb Chops:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Once marinated, transfer the lamb chops and marinade into an ovenproof dish, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil or a lid to seal in the juices and moisture.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the lamb chops are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Carefully remove the dish from the oven and uncover.
- Serve the braised lamb chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
- Enjoy the juicy tenderness and rich flavors of these delectable Braised Juicy Lamb Chops with your loved ones.
Notes:
- For an even more intense flavor, you can baste the lamb chops with the marinade mixture halfway through the cooking process.
- Feel free to adjust the ingredients according to your personal preferences, adding more or less of each ingredient to suit your taste.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
