Place chicken in a Dutch oven, add water and the salt, bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until tender, until it almost falls off of the bone.
Remove chicken from the broth and cool. Bone the chicken and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Bring the broth to a boil and add pepper.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the shortening. Add the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until moistened.
Knead dough 4 to 5 times, never done, and pat to 1/2 inch pieces and drop into boiling broth. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the chicken and serve.
