How does frying chicken in 375 degree oil take less time than baking in a 375 degree oven?

If the temperature of the oven is the same as the temperature of the oil, shouldn’t they cook at the same time?

The temperature of the air of the oven is not the same as the temperature of the chicken or light oil/batter coating it.

It’s a slower process for the air in the oven to heat the chicken.

Oil at 375 is touching the chicken directly and heating it up faster
