Like rain maker has said the chicken bones are given with meat still on them like chicken wings are the full wing with meat and bone..........the carsus have still got a considerable amount of meat on too plus they are large which means the dog has to chew them in order to get them into the stomach...............i have not had a single problem with any bones my dogs have eaten and even my 9 wk old pup eats chicken wings and small carcus with no problems at all

LOL Emma
 Meko, chicken wings ARE decent food for SMALL dogs (think terrier pups). For anything bigger, you should be feeding chicken quarters, whole chickens etc. Certainly for a large dog (like your Rottie, or my Bull/Whippet/Greyhound lurcher) you're looking at whole chickens and up. Wings alone are not a great diet even for pups, as they have a high bone:flesh ratio. They can form part of a varied diet however But as I said, for larger dogs, just feed large meals. Turkey wings are ok

Just a friendly bit of advice, skip the mince. There are two halves to decent tucka for dogs. Content and consistency. With mince, the CONTENT is OK (it's raw mince) but the CONSISTENCY is bad.
Mince is pappy, soft and wet. It will accumulate along the gumline just like commercial food. Stick to chicken portions (whole) Tescos, Asda etc do chicken leg quarters for £1.30 for four (thereabouts). Morrisons also do whole lamb breasts for 70p up. Great food.
