Hello
No need to worry, no problem will occur even if you swallow a chicken piece.
It won't get struck in the intestine or rectum as it will be digested in stomach.
The only danger place is throat, where it can get struck and cause problems.
Since it has passed down the throat no need to worry.
Thank you
