3
Generously spritz both sides of the coated chicken pieces with vegetable oil. Again, working in batches, air-fry the coated chicken at 425°F for 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking process. (If you air fryer only goes up to 400°F, you may need to add a couple of minutes to the cooking time.)
4
While the chicken is air-frying make the orange sauce on the stovetop. Combine the orange marmalade, soy sauce, ginger, hoisin sauce, sesame oil and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop, lower the heat and simmer for 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Set aside.

When the chicken pieces are browned, place them in a bowl. Bring the sauce back up to a simmer and then pour it over the chicken, tossing gently to coat all the pieces well. Serve warm over rice with chopped scallions scattered on top.
