Instructions

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.
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.

Notes

For best results, ensure the skewers are soaked in water to avoid burning.
You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less jalapeno.
