Rinse the rack of lamb and pat it dry to ensure seasonings adhere.

Remove the lamb from the refrigerator about an hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Cut the rack of lamb into individual chops.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon herbs de Provence, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon fresh black peppercorn.

Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the spice mixture to create a paste.

Toss the lamb chops in the spice paste until well coated.

Let the seasoned lamb chops sit to soak in the flavors.

Heat 16 ounces of vegetable oil in an All-Clad 12-inch pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Carefully add the lamb chops to the hot oil, ensuring they sizzle immediately.

Fry the lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

After 3 minutes, flip the lamb chops to brown the other side.

In a separate pan, melt butter and garlic over low heat to infuse flavors.

Once the lamb chops are done frying, transfer them to the pan with melted garlic and butter to baste them.
