They’re not really that bad. The bones get soft and kinda crumbly when they’re cooked in the chicken. They only get brittle when they’re allowed to dry after the meat is stripped off. The whole “shards of bone will pierce their stomach/intestines” idea is kind of a myth. They’re still a choking hazard, but that’s true for any bones, cooked or not.
I’m sure I’ll get a few people who want to link some blog that says otherwise, but that’s what the emergency vets told me the first time my dog ate fried chicken.
