Can dogs eat Chicken wing?
Chicken wing（鶏手羽先）
With care
The wing tip used with the bone. Watch out for swallowing it whole.
Do not feed cooked bones — they can split into sharp splinters.
(To feed it cooked, remove the bones completely, or pressure-cook until they crumble between your fingers.)
Safe to feed
A fatty part that makes it easy to add calories.

What kind of food is this?
The wing tip used bone and all. Compared with boneless wing meat, minerals change greatly because the bone is included.
Along with the skin and meat, this ingredient also brings in bone-derived calcium and phosphorus.
Wing tip meat with the bone removed. Per 100g: 207kcal and 16.2g fat — about 1.8 times the average fat of the meats in this dictionary (9.2g), a well-marbled part. It contains 120mg of alpha-linolenic acid.
Unlike bone-in wings, this is not a calcium source. It also suits a meal on days when leaner meats have been running in a row.
How to serve
When serving with the bone in, watch your dog while they eat so they do not swallow it without chewing. Do not feed cooked bones, as they tend to split into sharp pieces when they break. If you do serve them, simmer them in a pressure cooker or similar until they are falling-apart soft enough to crush with your fingers.

In food-energetics terms
In food-energetics tradition it is classed as "warming" — thought to gently warm the body, and often chosen in colder seasons.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
