These Creole chicken wings are seasoned to perfection! Spicy, zesty, and full of flavor!
I absolutely LOVE these creole chicken wings. It consists of all my favorite spices and seasonings that I like to call my creole or cajun seasoning mixed with butter! Butter makes everything taste better, and when its used on chicken wings, it caramelizes the skin and gives the wings SO MUCH FLAVOR!
These aren’t your average chicken wings as the flavors are unique, but I love playing with spices and seasonings when it comes to wings. Can you imagine having unlimited wings with as many flavors as you’d like?! That would be amazing! I’m thinking I need to make a collection of all my favorite wing recipes. What do you guys think?
For this post I teamed up with Real California Milk and bought some of my favorite dairy products with their seal on it. The butter I used in this recipe has their Real California Milk seal representing the commitment by California dairy farm families to produce quality milk. This season they are leading an initiative called Seals for Good, supporting families affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in Florida and Texas. They’ve also expanded the campaign to help those affected by the wildfires here in California.
Real California Milk will donate $5 to the Great American Milk Drive every time you share a photo of our Real California Milk seal on social using the hashtag #SealsforGood!Spot the Seal For Good when you’re shopping, and share a photo of your Real California Milk seal to help raise money for those who’ve been affected by the natural disasters! Use the hashtag #SealsForGood!
These creole chicken wings are perfect as an appetizer for a party, or lunch or dinner. I like to garnish with sliced jalapenos, cilantro, and lime juice for some extra zest. You don’t need a dipping sauce with these, although if you wanted to include one; I wouldn’t be mad at you! I think a ranch or chipotle dipping sauce would be good. Check out the recipe for these wings below!

These Creole butter chicken wings are seasoned to perfection! Spicy, zesty, and full of flavor!
Ingredients
- 12 party size chicken wings, tips removed and discarded

- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon oregano

- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Mix the seasoning into the butter until well combined. Set aside.
- Season wings with salt and pepper generously, and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Oil temperature should heat to between 350-375 degrees.
- Once the oil is ready, fry each wing for 3-4 minutes per side; just until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan with wings so you do not drop the temperature of the oil.
