Add the chicken to a bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken. Toss well to coat.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Add the corn flakes, paprika, and a pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper to a medium-sized bowl. Stir to combine.
Remove each piece of chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge through the crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken has been used.
Lightly drizzle or mist the chicken with olive oil. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, make the honey BBQ sauce. Combine the BBQ sauce, honey, dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper. Shake or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Drizzle each piece of chicken with BBQ sauce, then return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
To make the ranch, combine all ingredients in a glass jar and shake or stir until creamy.
Serve the chicken with fresh chives and spicy ranch for dipping.
