To make the sauce: Set a small saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
3
Add the ginger, orange zest and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.

(Watch carefully, you don't want to let the garlic burn, or it'll be bitter.)

6
Bring to a simmer and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400-450 F).
9
Oil the grates lightly.
10
While the grill is heating, season with salt and pepper the chicken cubes.
11
Tread the chicken cubes onto skewers.
12
Place the kebabs on the grill and cook, giving them a quarter turn every 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly charred on all sides.
13
Brush one side of the kebabs liberally with the sauce then flip and cook until the sauce caramelizes, about 1 minute.
14
Brush the other side with the sauce, flip and cook until caramelized, about 1 more minute.

The total cooking time should be about 12-15 minutes.
