Best Sticky Chicken Wings

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

For this recipe I strongly suggest to use fresh not frozen thawed wings as frozen will hold in too much water --- you may use 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic in place of garlic powder but the fresh garlic tends to burn while cooking, the choice is up to you or you may use both the powder and fresh garlic, the butter will firm up only slightly when chilled but will melt and blend in with the other ingredients when baked --- plan ahead the wings need to marinate a minimum for 8-24 hours, overnight is better -- these wings are delicious!

I used fresh, thick chicken breasts for this and used Chinese 5 Spice instead of the Creole seasoning. Marinated all afternoon then grilled. Hubby kept raving about how good these breasts turned out. Am being forced to make this often. :-D Thanks!

These wings were good, not great or sticky for me. The chicken was tender but I didn't feel there was enough flavor, wasn't sure if they were supposed to be sweet or Thai flavored. I even used Kittencal's Creole Mix The Best Creole/Cajun Seasoning Mix. I think a honey-mustard sauce right at the end or for dipping may have helped the flavor a bit.
