The best burnt ends are crispy, but not chewy. You know how in good crispy bacon, the fat is rendered, so that it's a crispy shell of cell walls with the interior liquid released [bacon grease] and it can be ground to dust between your thumb and finger. Burnt ends undergo the same process, except while it's releasing the liquid fat, the cell walls soak up smoke so it's crispy and intensely smoky.
