Cocks and hens have slightly different diets. Hens are generally used for stewing soup, and cocks are suitable for quick frying. Because hens have high fat content, umami substances in meat are easily dissolved in soup, and the stewed chicken soup tastes delicious. On the contrary, the cock's meat is tight and it is difficult to make thick soup. People prefer delicate "chicken" when eating cock, so it is more important to fry it quickly to keep it fresh and delicious.
