Clean the chicken and set aside.

Toast black peppercorns and coriander seeds in a small pot over medium heat until fragrant and slightly brown.

Grind the toasted black peppercorns and coriander seeds finely.

In a mixing bowl, combine ground spices with 4 tbsp Golden Mountain seasoning sauce (or 2 tbsp light soy sauce), 1 tsp chicken seasoning powder, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp palm sugar. Mix well, breaking up the palm sugar.

Poke the chicken with a small knife, especially between the flat bones, and massage the marinade into the chicken.

Wrap the chicken and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.

Grill the chicken over charcoal for better flavor, or use an oven at 180°C for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
