Chicken came out chewy not crunchy

I boiled my chicken breast sliced them into 1.8 or less laid them on a cookie sheet lined with foil and baked for 2 hours at 200 degrees but they came out chewy not crunchy. Do I need to cook longer?

Chef's Answer ~ Before I can answer your question, I have one of my own. Did your dog like the chewy chicken jerky? If your dog enjoyed the treat, then I would keep making it the way you described.

That being said, the chicken jerky is suppose to be chewy, not crunchy. Also, the instructions do not mention boiling the chicken before baking it in the oven, so I can't say whether or not you should bake it longer.

If your dog is craving a crunchy homemade dog treat, I would recommend the Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Dog Cookie recipe.

Making Crunchy chicken jerky for dogs NEW
by: Angel

You can make crunchy jerky treats, I did it (on accident) I call them Angels Chicken Chips, ha. I sliced them very thin & let me tell you the thinner, the crunchier, I didn't mean it this way, but the dogs love them very very much! If you can't get them thin enough I just pressed them down to thin em out, when I say thin I mean as thin as I could go.

If your dogs like crunchy they will love Chicken Chips. :)
