I remember teachers at my Middle School having students mummify
chicken legs.
I think they covered them in salt as part of the process. This would
make the lesson

Sarcophagus and decorating
and painting it. Below is a site that tells you how to do a whole
chicken:

Do a google search and make the whole process more authentic.
