How do you buy lamb chops?

Chef's answer
Lean on your butcher to help select the best cut. Tender and iconic, leg of lamb can be purchased in several iterations, from the full leg to the shank (or lower) end or the sirloin end. Bone-in leg of lamb will take longer to cook, but won't need to be tied with twine like a boneless leg of lamb.
