Arby's is no stranger to putting a tasty spin on different meats and its new Original Beer Can Chicken Sandwich, is no exception. Featuring chicken marinated in "The Champagne of Beers," the new sandwich is the ultimate comfort food.
Normally, beer can chicken is prepared by using a beer can to prop up a chicken and roasting the whole thing together in the oven or on the BBQ. Arby's new Original Beer Can Chicken Sandwich takes on this dish by marinating chicken in Miller High Life beer prior to cooking. The tender chicken is then paired with melted cheddar cheese, tomato, bacon, lettuce, crispy onions, and garlic aioli, all served on a toasted roll. There is also a similar sandwich called the Tall Boy Sandwich, which comes with the same ingredients, as well as smoked ham, for an extra meaty meal.
