Crispy outside, chewy center?

Same way good pizza crust is, I guess; crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.

Yes, that does not make any sense. The terms are the opposite of one another. Is it chewy like jerky, or is it crispy like a potato chip? 375 in your oven for 30 to 35 minutes seems like a long time at that temperature and seems like it would make a mess. But I will probably give it a try since I am a bacon lover.

Good question. I’m not looking for chewy bacon, I want my bacon tender but with the fat good and brown.

I found a recipe where you sous vide the bacon at 145 F for 8 to 24 hr than crisp it in a skillet for just a couple minutes per side. Author of the recipe said that will result in more tender bacon. I haven’t tried it yet, but I intend to try it soon.
