Using a deep fryer or a skillet, heat the oil to 375 degrees F.Whisk the eggs and buttermilk together in a medium bowl. Using another medium shallow bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes, flour and salt.Dip the chicken strips into the egg mixture, then dredge in the cornflake mixture, coating all sides.Working in batches, fry the chicken strips until deep golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.
