Lamb and Goat leg (raan) is a must have after every Eid-ul-Adha because the leg is a very popular cut of lamb or goat as it is large, tender and versatile. The Eid festivities are incomplete without a perfectly roasted Raan on the table. Every household have their own version of making Raan. I have tried so many different recipes loaded with spices. But this recipe uses very mild spices. I used charcoal grill but you can try baking it or grilling it on the regular grill.
To get the inside perfectly cooked, you need the cooking thermometer to check the inside temperature of the meat.
BBQ Lamb Leg
I’ve tried making goat leg a couple of times but never tried lamb lag before. Should admit it came out to be delicious. Most of our household consume beef chicken and goat as the meat source regularly but with the superior omega-3 fat content and better taste of lamb, it seems like many of us are missing out.

Instructions
