Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken breast into small, bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, chopped parsley, gluten-free soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until everything is well incorporated.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for best results.

Step 4

In a separate shallow dish, mix together the rice flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Roll each piece in the flour and breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 6

In a large deep pan or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a deep fry thermometer for accuracy.

Step 7

Carefully add the chicken balls to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the chicken balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free crispy fried chicken balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
