Despite the dining restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Arby's has thrown its hat into the chicken sandwich wars with its new Chicken Cheddar Ranch Sandwich.
Arby's new Chicken Cheddar Ranch Sandwich is a hearty offering that starts with a pair of fried chicken tenders. The crispy tenders are then topped with sharp cheddar cheese, a double serving of creamy Parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce, shredded iceberg lettuce, and tomatoes. All these ingredients are sandwiched between two toasted sesame seed buns for a tasty—albeit a bit messy—combo.
The new Chicken Cheddar Ranch Sandwich is available from participating Arby's locations on its own or as part of a combo alongside a side dish and a drink.
