• In a large bowl combine salt and warm water to cover the chicken pieces.
  
• Soak for 1 hour.
  
• In a large cast iron pan melt one stick of butter.
• Drain chicken pieces and pat dry.
• In a large Ziploc bag combine the flour and buttermilk powder.
• Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
• When butter is melted and hot arrange chicken pieces to fit into the pan.
