Buttermilk Chicken Sandwiches

Arby's is Giving Its Existing Chicken Sandwiches an Update

— August 24, 2016 — Lifestyle
With fall just around the corner, Arby's is giving its existing chicken sandwich lineup a delicious update in the form of four new Buttermilk Chicken Sandwiches. While many brands have turned their attention to gourmet condiments and creative toppings, Arby's is focusing on what the chain is best known for it: its meat.

The new Buttermilk Chicken Sandwiches from Arby's come in four different varieties that will satisfy a wide range of taste preferences. All of the sandwiches come with a crispy buttermilk-fried chicken breast topped with fresh veggies. For those looking for something on the spicy side, the Buttermilk Buffalo Chicken features a spicy buffalo sauce and a creamy Parmesan peppercorn ranch dressing. For meat-lovers, the Buttermilk Chicken Cordon Bleu is topped with a serving of thinly sliced pit-smoked ham.

While the sandwiches may be similar to the chain's existing options, the new buttermilk-fried chicken breasts add a touch of flavor to complement cooler fall temperatures.
