'salt sprinkled on what stuffs chicken' is the wordplay.
'sprinkled' is an anagram indicator (the letters are sprinkled around).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'what' becomes 'eh' (I've seen this in other clues).
'stuffs' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'chicken' becomes 'coward' ('coward' can be similar in meaning to 'chicken'**).
'salt' is an anagram of 'astl'.
'astl'+'eh'='astleh'
'astleh' inserted inside 'coward' is 'CASTLE HOWARD'.
(Other definitions for castle howard that I've seen before include "English stately home" , "Stately home in Yorkshire" , "country manor" , "As the cold war (anag) - stately home near York" .)

an anagram of 'salt' is 'astl' which is located in the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?
