The reason people roast whole legs of lamb is so that it will be moist
and flavorful partly because the bone is there, and it provides lots
of flavor.

To cut it and "roast" slices isn't the same - LOLamb isn't as tender a
cut as a chop, for example (which you can broil),and you wouldn't like
the result. Trust me on this.

If you don't want to use your oven, use a grill outside.
