Chicken wings with bones can cause gastritis or irritation of the stomach, and occasionally the bones can become lodged in the esophagus, stomach or intestines and cause an obstruction. Often a wing will be digested and the dog will have no problems whatsoever. As long as Chewy is otherwise healthy with no history of medical problems I think you can monitor him for vomiting, diarrhea or a decrease in appetite over the next few days.
