Yeah that. Chicken thighs with bones in are a staple of our dogs' diets.
If you're feeding raw, you HAVE to have bone that they can fully consume, somewhere in the range of 15% of the diet should be bone. Chicken and turkey are wonderful soft bones. Heavier ones (like the marrow bones you're talking about) actually make me nervous as our oldest dog has chipped some teeth on the hard bones. We don't do anything harder than the very occasional pork rib.
