The main job of muscles in a chicken wing are to extend the secondary joint so that the maximum area of the wing is exposed during flight. The domestic chicken's wing muscles are not strong enough for vertical or extended flight, as the body weight is proportionally excessive.

In case of the birds the forelimbs are converted into wings. This happened during the process of evolution. So the forelimb bones are there in the chicken wings also. You can palpate them very well.

The muscles that control the movement of the ends of chicken wing are the extensor and flexor muscles. These are known as opposing muscles in the skeletal system. .
