Arby’s has new, but also old, chicken sandwiches. They’re new because Arby’s has switched to a new buttermilk chicken fillet. They’re also old because the four varieties are the same that were available prior to the switch.
The Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich come with tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and mayonnaise on a Star Cut bun. It has 550 calories, 26 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 1480 milligrams of sodium, 52 grams of carbohydrates, and 29 grams of protein.
The Buttermilk Chicken Cordon Bleu is topped with pit-smoked ham, swiss cheese, and mayonnaise with a Star Cut bun. This sandwich has 690 calories, 35 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 110 milligrams of cholesterol, 2000 milligrams of sodium, 53 grams of carbohydrates, and 41 grams of protein.
The Buttermilk Chicken Bacon & Swiss has tomatoes, lettuce, pepper bacon, swiss cheese, Dijon honey mustard, and a Star Cut bun. It has 650 calories, 31 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 90 milligrams of cholesterol, 1750 milligrams of sodium, 56 grams of carbohydrates, and 39 grams of protein.
Finally, the Buttermilk Buffalo Chicken Sandwich features a buttermilk chicken fillet drenched in spicy buffalo sauce and is topped with parmesan peppercorn ranch sauce and iceberg lettuce, and comes with a Star Cut bun. It has 540 calories, 24 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 2110 milligrams of sodium, 53 grams of carbohydrates, and 29 grams of protein.
If you’ve tried the new buttermilk chicken, let us know if you think it’s an improvement over the old chicken in the comments.

I ate two of the Buffalo sandwiches for lunch today. I had a 2 for $6 dollar coupon. They were very good overall. The quality of the chicken was pretty impressive. The buffalo sauce was medium spiciness and there was a lot of it. Mixed with the ranch it was extremely messy. I would steer clear of eating it in the car. The new bun was fine, but I don’t know if it is better than the old bun. The lettuce didn’t really add much. The only negative is that the sauce made the chicken lose some of its crunch and become soggy. I like this sandwich slightly better than the other chicken sandwiches they offer. The meatball sub still remains my favorite food item at Arby’s, however.
