Cut or shred chicken into small pieces.
If shredding chicken, it's best to do that while the chicken is warm, but allow any chicken to cool completely before mixing with mayo. If you like it finer, pulse it in a food processor.
Stir in the hard-boiled eggs, celery, and red onion.
Mix the chicken with mayo, mustard, then add in the celery, celery salt/seed and add some additional salt if desired and black pepper to taste.
