It's because they "bread" the meat in corn starch.

I did try to soak chicken on corn startch overnight to replicate the
results before, but my chicken still looked like chicken (you know,
with the fiberous consistency) I don't see what corn starch would do
that would change so drastically the consistency and texture of the
meat. And why would they do that in the first place?
