In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with the chicken thighs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
In another bowl, mix the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until fully coated.
Carefully add the coated chicken to the hot oil. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and hot sauce until well combined.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. While still warm, brush the spicy honey butter generously over each piece.
Slice the slider buns in half. Place a piece of the honey butter chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Add pickles if desired, and top with the bun lid.
Arrange the sliders on a platter for serving.
