"I love to serve fried chicken with biscuits and honey!" Remove skin from chicken breast halves. Place them in a large container with a cover; pour salted ice water over chicken, covering completely (use about 2 tsp. salt per quart of ice water). Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Up to 2 hours before cooking, drain chicken and pat dry. Place in a large bowl. Pour buttermilk over chicken and refrigerate until time to fry. Drain chicken; dredge the breasts in flour, packing flour into crevices and coating well. Deep-fry in hot oil (350 degrees) for 10 minutes, or until cooked. Drain in a single layer in a shallow baking pan.
