As Diana mentioned, raw bones don't splinter and crack into sharp edges like cooked bones do. You're probably fine with wings, but how big is the dog? My pup is about 25 pounds right now and she's eating necks and backs without problem. My big girl just ate an entire carcass (about 500 gm) in about 20 seconds, pretty sure there wasn't a lot of chewing involved

He is only about 12 lbs. He pretty much inhaled the two wings.

I'd maybe try some thighs, they're a little bigger and might force some more chewing. The initial chewing triggers a release of enzymes which asist in digestion. When you first start with the bones, it's not uncommon (IME) to have them vomit up a piece or two until they build up enough digestive juices to really dissolve the bone.
