Unsubstaniated rumors! I once asked a butcher for chicken livers and when he found out that those would be going to my dogs raw, he told me if I did that they'd die the next day! 
The myths and misconceptions about the raw diet are rampant! Chicken wings for big dogs is NOT recommended because they would just gulp it whole and potentially choke. Always feed raw meaty bones that fits with the dogs overall size, aim for pieces bigger than the mouth. I have a tiny girl (1 1/2 pounds) who can only muster chicken wings and things of that size. One will have to actually watch a raw fed dog eat to understand how they eat it. Any dog has the jaw and teeth to adequately handle bones. A dog will sit/stand and gnaw on his meaty bone. He/she does not bite it off like a person would eat a hot dog for example.
But I will say that you could do a lot better than chicken wings for your dog as there's little meat on it. Better would be chicken drumsticks!

Apparently you have never had to have surgery on a dog due to eating raw meat with bones in it. We did several years ago and it was a Beagle. My vet is dead set against feeding raw meat of any kind to domesticated pets..
