This roast chicken with shallots and celeriac chips is one of my favorite mid-week roast recipes. Roast chicken is one of the easiest and straightforward meals, but this version has a healthier kick and a different flavor, but still very easy and relatively quick to make.
I choose to use the tighs instead of a whole chicken, as they are easier to prepare and quick to cook. Shallots add lots of flavor, while the celeriac chips, add a nutty taste and much less sugars than potatoes. If prefer you can substitute the celeriac chips with celeriac & thyme mash.
