Anti-seize as lube?

EDIT: I meant the title to be Anti-seize as GREASE?

My bike has started to make a creaking sound. I am assuming it might be the new chainrings I installed 400 miles ago (less than a month). I replaced them using the original bolts without regreasing anything.

I do not own any grease, and it is too late to order anything before my normal long weekend ride. Not sure I can stand hours of creaking noises. I do have some Park Tool Anti-Seize ASC-1 that I use on pedals (its main purpose). Good enough for the meantime or is it counter productive?

On a side note, I do not own torque wrenches and the bolts were tightened by my LBS while there for something else. Is proper tourqueing required for chainring bolts?
