Answer
Some people do put their dogs on raw, or BARF diet. It's a great deal more involved than just feeding your dog raw chicken. Here's a website that should help you understand it a bit better. It is a wonderful, healthy way to feed your dog.

If you prefer to stick with kibble. I can give you some suggestions to end your dogs picky behavior,provided of course that you have ruled out any physical issues that could cause him to have loss of appetite. Which doesn't seem to be the problem if he loves raw chicken :).
Let me know which way you would prefer to go. DO make sure that you follow the diet in order to get the needed nutrients for your dog, and be sure to also supplement as suggested.
Good luck
