A gigot pork chop, sometimes referred to as a gigot chop or a leg chop, is a specific cut of pork that is taken from the leg or shoulder region of the pig. It is named after the French term “gigot,” which means leg.
The gigot pork chop is known for its rich and flavourful meat, and it is often more tender and succulent compared to other cuts of pork. This is because the muscles in the leg or shoulder area of the pig are worked more, resulting in meat with more marbling and flavour.
Gigot pork chops are typically larger and thicker than other pork chops, making them suitable for a variety of cooking methods. They can be grilled, roasted, or pan-fried to highlight their natural tenderness and juiciness.
To enhance the flavors, gigot pork chops can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and marinades. Common seasonings include garlic, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper.
When cooking gigot pork chops, it’s essential to ensure they reach a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), to ensure they are cooked through.
Gigot pork chops are a popular choice for hearty meals and can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Overall, gigot pork chops are a delicious and flavourful cut of pork that can make for a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.

The Irish pigmeat industry has evolved significantly over the past 50 years since Ireland entered the European Union. Irish pig producers are exposed to commodity supercycles where geopolitics and weather events can play a part in significantly higher feed prices. More recently, EU producers have also been exposed to animal disease events that impact on international trade market access which has caused significant oversupply issues.
As the Irish pig industry consolidated over the past 20 years, the Irish pig breeding herd has declined over 19% to 152,000 head in the June 2021 CSO livestock census. However, despite decline in breeding numbers, total Irish pig production (including live exports) reached record levels of just over 4 million head during 2021 reflecting on-farm productivity and genetic improvements. This increase in Irish pig production coincides with record EU pigmeat production during 2021, where output reached around 23.5 million tonnes.
