    Clean and wash the celery and cut it diagonally into pieces. Put some green aside for garnishing. Peel and quarter the onion. After 30 minutes, turn the chicken and spread the onion and a few pieces of celery around it. Pour in white wine and some stock and continue to fry. Drain the potatoes, rinse with cold water and remove the skin. Quarter potatoes lengthwise. Heat clarified butter in a pan and fry the potatoes for eight minutes until golden brown, season with salt and keep warm. Steam celery in little boiling salted water for eight to ten minutes. Drain the vegetables. Heat the fat in a pot and toss the celery in it. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the remaining herbs on the chicken ten minutes before the end of the frying time.
