Instructions

Chicken

To a large bowl, add chicken, salt, pepper, chili powder, and oil. Toss to coat.
To each skewer, thread peach, chicken, jalapeno, chicken, jalapeno, chicken, and peach. (This is how I assembled each skewer; feel free to thread the skewers as desired.)
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F* (190°C).
To prevent sticking, brush the skewers with olive oil. Place into the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
Air fry the skewers for 11-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Peach Glaze

While the skewers are cooking, prepare the peach glaze. To a medium sauce pan, add the glaze ingredients. Mix until incorporated and continue to cook until warmed through.
Once the skewers are done, brush them generously with the glaze. Serve warm.
