Calamansi Fried Chicken

HAD THIS with the beef stew. Just to have something fried. I know, I know, it's bad, but hey...

Rub some celery salt into the chicken (don't know where I got this. Just found it in the kitchen. It's celery-flavored salt granules) till the outside of the chicken feels squishy. When I do this, somehow, the flavor seeps in better. And it fries well. I don't know, maybe it's some kitchen superstition. Sprinkled a bit of ground pepper, a little soy sauce, just for color and some calamansi juice. Massage everything into the chicken and leave for a bit.Then deep fry. Add some toasted sesame seeds and sliced leeks on top when serving (in case you left some unused from the beef stew) to make it purty, haha.
