Wash chicken, cut away any fat and cut into serving pieces. Melt butter in a large pot; add chicken and salt. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally so that pieces do not burn. Combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil and then add to the chicken. Cook, spices and skim off grease from sauce. Serve with macaroni, noodles, or rice. Serves 8 person nicely.
