Cut the boneless chicken breast into small, bite-sized cubes and set aside.
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.
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.
In a separate shallow dish, mix together the rice flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried chicken balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
