Chicken Wings is not a routine dog treat. Chicken wings are risky for dogs because cooked wing bones can splinter or obstruct the gut. Sauce and skin add garlic, onion, salt, spice, and fat concerns. A small taste and a large raid are different situations, so check the recipe or package before deciding what to do.
