I am late but also a chef. What they did with the chicken is called spatchock, also known as butterflying. It can be used to cook the chicken faster, or all of the meat more evenly. In this case, frying the chicken like this rather than keeping it full gives you more area to be breaded and fried, so more of the chicken will have a crispy skin compared to keeping it whole which takes much longer frying and much of the meat wont be crusted in that crispy skin.
