Prepare the marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey Greek yogurt, lemon juice, kosher salt, ground ginger, paprika, onion powder, allspice, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar, and chopped parsley. Mix well until smooth.
Marinate the lamb chops. Add the lamb chops to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Prepare the breading station. Place the flour in one shallow bowl.In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.Place the seasoned breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Coat the lamb chops. Remove each lamb chop from the marinade.First dredge it lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.Next dip it into the egg mixture.Finally coat it evenly with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly so the coating sticks. Place it back in the fridge while the oil heats up. This will allow the breading to better stick to the lamb chops, and will result in a crispier outer shell.
Heat the oil. Pour oil into a deep skillet or frying pan and heat over medium heat until hot.
Fry the lamb chops. Carefully place the breaded lamb chops in the hot oil. Fry in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and rest. Transfer the fried lamb chops to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon juice if desired and serve while hot and crispy.

Refrigerator:
Store leftover lamb chops in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer:
Freeze cooked lamb chops in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

Reheating (Best Method):

Oven: Reheat at 375°F for 8–10 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
Air fryer: 350°F for 4–5 minutes works very well.
Avoid microwaving if possible, as it softens the crust.
