Anco Naturals Chicken Wings 200g

Anco Naturals Chicken Wings – 200g

Whole chicken wings, air-dried until the bone goes crisp along with everything else. Anco declare 42.8% protein against 33.8% fat and 11.4% ash, and the cartilage in the joints is the natural source of the glucosamine and chondroitin the range is known for.

A wing is a bigger mouthful than a foot and takes a bit more working at, which is where the tartar-scraping comes in. It is also a rich treat at a third fat, so a 200g bag should last — these are a couple-of-times-a-week thing, not a daily one.
