ELI5 Why are deep-fried versions of food almost always so much tastier?

Fat!

Sorry that the answer isn't fancier but deep fried food has literally been bathed in fat and the fat then is coating the food (after heat being applied fat is basically fused into teh food).

And fat is a fantastic taste 'carrier'.

To get a little mor complicated, fat activates certain receptors on our toung that then again stimulate activity in the brain creating the sensation that something tastes good (after some other chemical reactions happen in your body). 

But essentially it's 'Fat carries taste'
