In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes with kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, and olive oil. Toss until coated evenly.

Thread chicken, peach chunks, and jalapeño pieces alternately onto pre-soaked wooden skewers.

Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Lightly brush the skewers with olive oil to minimize sticking.

Once cooked, generously brush the skewers with the warm peach glaze.

Soaking wooden skewers prevents burning during high-heat cooking.

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture.
