Instructions
Bring one inch of water in a large pot to a boil.
Set eggs in a steamer basket and lower into pot.
Cover pot with lid and set timer for 13 minutes.
Remove lid and take steamer basket out of the pot.
Immediately place eggs in a bowl of ice water.
Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.
Meanwhile cut carrots into slices and sticks.
Cut the slices using a small "E" cookie cutter (2 per egg).
Cut the sticks so that each end is pointed ( 2 per egg).
Push a skewer into the center of each "E" creating a hole.
Poke a carrot stick into each "E" creating a chicken leg and foot.
Remove eggs from ice water.
Poke two carrot chicken legs into each egg.
