Arby's Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal

About the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal

Arby's Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal rings up at $11.39 in Austin, TX and carries 1,100 cal, pairing a fried chicken breast sandwich with fries and a fountain drink. Prices here reflect one store, and a location near you can land a bit above or below.

The sandwich is simple on purpose. A crispy, juicy chicken breast goes on a toasted buttery brioche bun with shredded lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. The crunch of the breading meets the soft, slightly sweet brioche, and the mayo with tomato keeps each bite cool and moist. No sauce gimmicks, no heat, just a clean chicken sandwich that kids and picky eaters can handle.

Here is the short answer to how much is the Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal next to the sandwich alone: the Crispy Chicken Sandwich costs $6.89 by itself, and the meal adds Arby's standard combo add on for fries and a drink.

The longer answer involves a box. Arby's $7.99 Meat & 3 lets you choose this very Crispy Chicken Sandwich and throws in small fries, a small drink, a peach cobbler roll and a 2 piece order of mozzarella sticks. In our Austin data, that box costs $7.99, well under the combo price, for more food. On a per item basis, the Meat & 3 wins on value by a clear margin.

On Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal calories, the sandwich alone holds 530 cal with 24 grams of protein, lighter than the Chicken Bacon Swiss at 650 cal. The fries and drink roughly double it. For comparison, the Meat & 3 Box totals 1,170 cal with its extra sides and dessert.

The combo suits a straightforward lunch, a parent ordering for a child who wants a big kid sandwich, or anyone who finds Buffalo sauce too hot. Its mild build also makes it an easy match for any sauce packet at the counter.

For swaps, Both Curly Fries and Crinkle Fries are on the board at Arby's, plus sodas, teas and lemonade; your store sets which ones fit the combo. A tea or lemonade is an easy upgrade in flavor over a basic soda.

To dress it up, add Jalapeño Bites for some heat, or look at the Chicken Bacon Swiss Sandwich Meal, which stacks bacon, Swiss and honey mustard on the same chicken.
