Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. Mix flour, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
Step 3
Dip each chicken thigh into buttermilk, then coat both sides thoroughly with seasoned flour.
Step 4
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side without moving. Edges should turn deep golden and no pink remains inside.
Step 6
Transfer chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Warm biscuits in the skillet 30 seconds per side.
Step 7
Split each warm biscuit in half. Drizzle cut sides with hot honey.
Step 8
Layer one chicken thigh and 2 pickle slices on the bottom half of each biscuit. Top with the other half.
Step 9
Serve immediately while chicken and biscuits are still warm.
