Definition
Plural of gigot; multiple legs of mutton or lamb; cuts of meat from the hind legs of sheep.
Etymology
From gigot + -s (regular English plural). Simple pluralization of the French culinary term adopted into English cooking vocabulary.
Kelly Says
Medieval and Renaissance cookbooks often used French terms for meat cuts to sound fancy—gigots is one of the survivors, still used in culinary English today.
