Maple Sriracha glazed chicken and blue cheese sandwich

The IIHF World Juniors are currently happening in Finland. I was in a Game Day thread during the Canada Denmark game and someone joked “it’s maple syrup vs… what does Denmark have? Blue cheese!” Right away I thought “that would actually make a delicious combo!!” And so I got to work crafting this sandwich.

All day I was concocting this thing in my head. Took some effort to put together, but super duper worth it! For the dry rub  meat seasoning I use a "Caribbean Mix" I get at my local grocery store, or you can use the rub found here Bread recipe here:
