The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

## What each layer brings

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.

## Pairings

- **Chicken + Jalapeño**: green heat wakes mild chicken
- **Chicken + Coleslaw**: cold crunch against crisp fried chicken
- **Chicken + Hot Honey**: sweet heat on crisp chicken, the modern law
- **Chicken + Aioli**: garlic aioli on mild chicken

## How to raise it

- Clear the board: heat past the catalog (-8).
